Personal Project and Skills Suite

Personal Project

   

The Personal Project is an evolution of the Skills Challenge Certificate, offering learners in Wales the opportunity to complete an independent learning project on a topic of their choice with the aim of developing and demonstrating four key skills: 

  • planning and organising
  • creativity and innovation
  • critical thinking and problem solving
  • personal effectiveness    

The Personal Project is designed to be taken alongside our new Foundation qualifications, GCSEs, VCSEs and/or Skills Suite units.
