05The credits
The credits, and who awards them
Entry Level credits are regulated, and they are awarded by AIM Qualifications 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
Accessing Commercial ServicesAccessing Financial ServicesAction Planning for Personal SuccessAction Planning to Improve Performance at WorkAddition, Subtraction and MultiplicationAdjusting to a New Work SettingApplying for Jobs or CoursesAppraisals and Setting Targets
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.
The Coach · your practice partner Illustration The Coach You have to open the conversation in “Appraisals and Setting Targets”. Say the first line to me, exactly as you would say it to them.
You I wanted to have a quick chat about how things have been going recently.
The Coach That is the warning shot, and they will spend it worrying. Try the version that says what this is about in the first sentence.
- Rehearse the conversation Apply
“Appraisals and Setting Targets” 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
“Carrying out Market Research” 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 “Action Planning for Personal Success” 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 “Accessing Financial Services” 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.
