Applied General qualifications
Developed in collaboration with teachers, professional bodies and higher education institutions, our Applied General qualifications help learners to develop the fundamental knowledge and practical skills that are valued in universities and the workplace.
A variety of assessment types allow learners to apply their knowledge in a practical way, and an integrated approach to learning means they gain a broad variety of skills.
