Personal and Social Development qualifications Companies actively seek to employ people who can demonstrate initiative and enterprise. Those who are conscientious, independent in their thinking and able to use new technologies are valued. Edexcel's Personal and Social Development (PSD) qualifications will help equip your learners with the confidence and skills needed to help them progress through life, education and employment.

A wide choice of shared and common units throughout our Personal and Social Development (PSD) qualifications are in place for use within the QCF. The units cover core areas of PSD to support learners in any additional studying and in work.

The Edexcel PSD courses will:

• indicate that a learner has certain positive attitudes towards learning or employment
• recognise types of achievements gained outside formal learning
• recognise achievements in areas of learning that are of key significance to the individual
• encourage learners to address personal or social issues, which will help them move forward
• provide a structure in which learners can identify their own strengths, weaknesses and goals.
