Course Description
If you have studied a language before and your language skills are suitable to communicate fairly complex phrases and vocabulary whilst conversing in past, present and future situations, then the NOCN (National Open College Network) Level Three Award in Language Skills Qualification is for you. It is also suitable for students who have completed a GCSE and would like to develop knowledge and fluency before, or rather than, enrolling for the A Level qualification. The programme helps you to develop and improve your ability to communicate at quite a high level. You will learn to extend language use to discuss and communicate topical, contemporary and everyday issues.

The Award year is appropriate for learners who have a good range of vocabulary and can communicate and identify fairly complex phrases in the target language.

You will not have to sit an examination for this qualification but you will need to prepare a portfolio of evidence of your studies and progress and you will complete a small number of assessments throughout the course on two specific skills per year. Reading and listening is the focus of assessment in year one and speaking and writing in year two when you have more confidence with using the target language at this level.

The language offered is Spanish. A course in Italian may be available.

These qualifications are intended for use by a wide variety of learners as they provide accessibility with steps towards full achievement. These qualifications are particularly suitable for:

  • Adults in part-time provision
  • Adults in the workplace
  • Adults in full-time learning
  • 16-19 learners in schools and colleges who wish to study a language
  • alongside their academic or vocational qualifications.


Course Structure
The NOCN Level 3 Certificate course works towards achievement of the remaining two communication units which were not accredited on the NOCN Level 3 Award Programme. Accreditation is for the specific skills, as prioritised by the learner or provider. Any learner joining the programme at this stage would achieve a Level Three Language Skills Award, as they will only complete two of the four communication skills units.

Achievement of units is through internally set, internally assessed and externally moderated assessment activity. Centres devise assessment tasks to meet the specifications for assessment which are detailed for each unit.

Course Entry Requirements
All learners will need to complete an application and interview prior to enrolling. For continuing students, re-enrolment arrangements will be made via your course tutor. The Level 3 Certificate is aimed at those learners who have completed the Level 3 Award or have some prior knowledge of the target language at level three. For learners who have some prior knowledge, entry would require a placement test to assess the level of ability in using the target language. Learners should be 16+.

Course Progression
A learner can progress to the A Level Programme (subject to availability).

These qualifications encourage progression through the levels and learners can progress to the AS course on the A Level Programmes (subject to availability).

Course Career Prospects
  • Acquisition of a language alongside vocational or academic skills can enhance career prospects in globalised economies. Employers are increasingly seeing language acquisition as an invaluable skill in response to the challenge of flexibility and mobility in the labour market.
