Qualifications
The Qualifications and Curriculum Authority (QCA) and the Department for Children, Schools and Families published the first national standards for adult literacy and numeracy in 2000. These standards formed the basis of the core curricula and national qualifications in literacy and numeracy at Entry Level, Level 1, and Level 2.
The following qualifications, achieved by adult learners, aged 16 years and older, count towards the Skills for Life target:
- Adult literacy and numeracy certificates (based on the 2000 national standards)
- Key Skills qualifications in 'Communication' and 'Application of Number'
- GCSE Maths and English
