Level 1 Courses: Your First Step to Job‑Ready Skills

Thinking about a new career but not sure where to start? Level 1 courses are built for people just like you – no experience needed, just a willingness to learn. At GoSkill we keep the focus on practical skills you can use on day one, whether you’re eyeing a role in construction, beauty, IT, or safety.

What Makes a Level 1 Course Different?

Level 1 is the entry point in the UK vocational framework. It means you’ll learn the basics of a trade, get hands‑on practice, and finish with a recognized certificate. The courses are short (usually a few weeks to a couple of months) and are designed around real workplace tasks, not endless theory.

Because the training is work‑based, you’ll often spend time in a simulated environment or on actual job sites. That way, when you hand in your certificate, employers already see you as someone who can hit the ground running.
