Digital Functional Skills Level One - Module 3- Complete 4.1 – 4.3 BUNDLE

These resources have been created for those delivering the Digital Functional Skills Qualification at Level 1, which replaces the current Functional Skills ICT Qualification.
The DFS qualification’s main purpose is to provide reliable evidence of a learner’s achievements against content that is relevant to the workplace and real life.

These resources provide a structured assessment in workbook form to evidence learner knowledge and skills, as well as their ability to apply these in different contexts and demonstrate that all learning outcomes have been met.

The qualification itself is made up of five main skill areas (Modules), each with its own series of units.

The unit workbooks include various challenges, activities and tasks to prove learners’ understanding. Each page has a header that includes the individual outcomes covered and can be assessed easily and signed off.
