I understand the point of having legislation to ensure that people have basic skills, but key skills training can impinge on courses by being patronising and redundant in a further education setting.

Two points - a) you need to sit still when talking and b) Be more specific about which course key skills are superfluous in Highly amusing.

I see the point of Key skills, but it should be based on grades attained, not mandatory. I am halfway through my A levels at college, and key skills is laughable. I amdoing an IT A level (along with three other subjects, two of which have key skills as part of them) and the key skills course took three months to get past opening Microsoft Word and typing three words. At A level standard. I can see that some people might need it, but why is it not based off attainment?
