  • The Key Skills Qualification is a frequently required component of 14-19 education in England, Northern Ireland and Wales. The aim of Key Skills is to encourage learners to develop and demonstrate their skills as well as learn how to select and apply skills in ways that are appropriate to their particular context. It is generally available in schools, Further Education colleges (alongside NVQ, as part of Apprenticeship training or other equivalent vocational or academic courses) and other places of learning (sometimes alongside other qualifications and sometimes independently). The qualifications can be taken at levels 1-4. The Department for Education and Skills in England and the Department for Children, Education, Lifelong Learning and Skills in Wales define Key Skills as "a range of essential skills that underpin success in education, employment, lifelong learning and personal development". The DfES website states that the Key Skills Qualification is offered as a response to concern from employers about lack of essential skills in young recruits and as part of the response to the 1996 Dearing Report. Key Skills qualifications at levels 2-4 attract UCAS Tariff points for University admissions. However, many universities do not accept Key Skills level 2 in place of a GCSE at grade C, as was intended, it is therefore advisable that students check with the admissions tutor of their chosen university to ensure acceptance. The UCAS tariff is a points system used to report achievement for entry to higher education (HE) in a numerical format.
  • Schlüsselqualifikationen sind überfachliche Qualifikationen, die zum Handeln befähigen sollen. Innerhalb der Personalwirtschaft sind diese neben der Fachkompetenz der zweite zentrale Bereich der Personalentwicklung. Sie sind daher kein Fachwissen, sondern ermöglichen den kompetenten Umgang mit fachlichem Wissen. Dabei setzen sich Schlüsselqualifikationen aus einem breiten Spektrum übergreifender Fähigkeiten zusammen, die sowohl aus dem kognitiven, als auch aus dem affektiven Bereich stammen. Diese Kompetenzen können in verschiedenen Situationen und Funktionen flexibel und innovatorisch eingesetzt und übertragen werden.
  • Con competenze trasversali si intendono quelle caratteristiche personali dell’individuo che entrano in gioco quando egli risponde ad una richiesta dell'ambiente organizzativo e che sono ritenute essenziali in ambito lavorativo per trasformare una conoscenza in comportamento. Il termine è dunque utilizzato per indicare capacità ad ampio spettro, non specifiche di una professione o di un ambiente organizzativo ed applicabili a compiti e contesti diversi. Il concetto è simile a quello che nel Regno Unito viene denominato core skills e key skills, in Germania schlüsselqualifikationen e in Francia compétences transversales. Esempio di competenze trasversali: capacità di diagnosi, di relazione, di problem solving, di decisione, di comunicazione, di organizzazione del proprio lavoro, di gestione del tempo, di adattamento a diversi ambienti culturali, di gestione dello stress, attitudine al lavoro di gruppo, spirito di iniziativa, flessibilità, visione d’insieme.
