In the coming months we will bring you a wide variety of resources to help you obtain the Essential Skills Wales qualifications that are being introduced from September 2010.  You’ll be able to take practice tests and study courses online at our “Virtual Learning Environment”, and we’ll also point you towards Essential Skills news and updates as well as  useful resources elsewhere on the web.

Those outside of Wales, or not studying for the Essential Skills Wales qualifications, will still find a variety of resources related to key skills (sometimes called “basic skills” or “functional skills”) that we hope will prove useful.
