Skills for Work: Using IT in the Workplace
Mae disgrifiad y cymhwyster yn Saesneg yn unig, gan ei fod wedi ei gymryd o fanyleb Saesneg CBAC.
Using IT in the workplace is a 20 hour Skills for Work unit, from Entry 1 to Level 2, that learners combine with other units into a Skills for Work Award, Certificate or Diploma. It is a digital unit throughout: learners find and organise work information with digital tools, create, edit and format workplace documents, communicate professionally by email, chat and video call, and use devices safely and responsibly. Every learning outcome is digital, and centres need computers or tablets with office style software. Level 2 adds comparing the reliability of sources, adjusting messages for different audiences, accessibility in formatting and rules on copyright, plagiarism and data protection.

Da gwybod
- Each level has its own unit code: "S666E1", S666E2, S666E3, S666L1 and S666L2, and the unit is 20 guided learning hours (Unit overview, page 3).
- Equipment is required: "Centres will need access to computers or tablets with office-style software and simple simulated workplace tasks" (Resources required for delivery, page 15).
- Evidence can be collected digitally: the pack lists "screen recordings or annotated screenshots showing how learners use tools to organise files, format content, or send communications" and "reflective logs or video/audio diaries" (Sources of evidence, page 14), and the portfolio "is not limited to paper-based materials" (Skills for Life and Work specification, Section 4.1, page 18).
- Entry criteria are worded for action and talk, for example "with actions and words" (Entry 3, page 4), so a learner can demonstrate a skill while the teacher records it.
- The suggested tasks are optional: "These tasks are not mandatory." (Skills for Life and Work specification, Section 4.1, page 18).
- AI tools may be used only if acknowledged: AI misuse includes "Using AI to complete parts of the assessment so that the work does not reflect the learner's own work" and "Incomplete or poor acknowledgement of AI tools" (Section 4.6, page 21). Teachers should check documents and messages created for this unit are the learner's own.
