See the whole journeyThe credits, and who awards them
Level 2 credits are regulated, and they are awarded by City & Guilds Limited rather than by Zavmo. They don’t vanish when a subscription ends or a website closes. They travel to any employer, and Zavmo keeps the map of what you have covered and what is next.
What you would be collecting
Briefing the work teamBuilding an awareness of waste managementBusiness improvement techniquesCommunicating with people outside the work teamDeveloping the work teamDeveloping yourself as a team leaderDiversity in the workplaceEnterprise awareness
Each one is a real unit registered against this qualification.
How you’d practise it
You don’t watch this. You do it.
You are not assessed on remembering this. You are assessed on applying it, analysing it, evaluating it and producing something. So that is what the practice is: projects, role play and your own live cases, with a tutor in the room.
- Rehearse the conversation Apply
“Understanding conflict management in the workplace” is a conversation before it is a document. You have it with Zavmo playing the other person, badly at first, then again once you know what you actually want to say.
- Pitch it Evaluate
“Enterprise awareness” gets practised as a pitch. You make the case out loud, Zavmo asks the question the room would ask, and you make it again.
- Bring your own plan Create
For “Managing workplace projects” you bring the plan you are actually working on, not a case study. Zavmo pulls on the assumptions in it until the weak one shows.
- Draft the real one Create
You do “Workplace records and information systems” on a real document of your own. Zavmo works on the draft you have to send anyway, so the coursework and the job are the same piece of work.
