Asset Languages for the World of Work

Asset Languages is delighted to announce the launch of their new World of Work qualification, which is now accredited by QCA.

Our existing specifications have been extended to include World of Work endorsements.

External assessment is now available in Spanish, French and German. These are available at Preliminary and Intermediate Stages (Breakthrough language skills are so general that they underpin both general and vocational areas).

We have designed qualifications:

Targeted at 14-19

Following the existing Asset philosophy of single skill assessment + functional literacy

Using similar styles of tests to general Asset qualifications

With vocabulary and grammatical standards comparable with general Asset standards

Set in general vocational contexts, with some choice where necessary.
