The Website

The Key Skills website provides resources for both teachers and students. You can brush up on your communication skills, improve your understanding of number work and really get a grip on databases and spread sheets. The 'Extras' section gives advice on just how to extend your research skills, the usefulness of mindmaps and even a few quizzes to help you find out what sort of learner you are.
