"The main impact of key skills on programmes is that they encourage more active forms of learning and involve the learners more deeply in their learning. Key skills are used to solve problems, get things done and improve performance. Students and trainees cannot develop and practise key skills by passively listening, reading or watching: they have to take an active part in their learning".
