We offer a range of recognised Personal Development Awards designed to enhance your career opportunities. These include the Award in Personal Development for Employability, the Certificate in Personal Development for Employability and the Award in Employability.
These Awards – a key part of our Employability Awards – provide a structured pathway for learners who want to strengthen the personal and professional skills needed to succeed in today’s job market. Each qualification is designed to build confidence, improve self-awareness and develop the practical abilities that employers value.
You will be introduced to key areas such as communication, teamwork, problem solving, time management and decision making. You’ll also explore topics like workplace expectations, professional conduct, interview preparation and career planning. By gaining a deeper understanding of how different workplaces operate, you’ll be better able to recognise your own strengths, identify areas for improvement and set meaningful goals for future progression.
In addition to core employability skills, these qualifications support personal development by encouraging learners to reflect on their attitudes, motivation and aspirations. This holistic approach helps individuals become more resilient, adaptable and prepared for employment – whether entering the workforce for the first time, returning after a break or considering a career change.
