A qualification is proof that you have knowledge or a skill in a certain area. Qualifications aren't the only way to show your skills: work experience, apprenticeships or volunteering are other ways of showing what you can do. But qualifications are a good way to let an employer see what skills and knowledge you have. Don’t worry if you haven’t studied for a while. Many people return to learning after a break, and really enjoy the experience.
