A skill set, consisting of accredited units of competency, is a focused and specialized collection of skills and knowledge aimed at enhancing employment opportunities. By developing and building on existing skills or upskilling in a new area, skill sets provide individuals with the necessary expertise to enter their desired industry.
Studying a skill set offers several advantages, including gaining specialized skills, the opportunity to trial a full qualification before committing to the entire course, and receiving a Statement of Attainment upon completion for resume enhancement. Skill sets are ideal for time-constrained students seeking valuable core skills without excessive costs.
