SmartCards: Retail Skills L1

City & Guilds, the UK’s leading vocational education organisation has developed SmartCards – the first in a line of mobile apps supporting City & Guilds qualifications.

SmartCards is a fun and engaging tool for City & Guilds Retail Skills learners, enabling you to supplement classroom learning with your smartphone. Featuring 48 revision cards, the flashcard style app allows you to:

• enhance and test your knowledge unit by unit
• mark cards you know as ‘Learnt’, so you can keep your learning organised.
• identify knowledge gaps using the ‘Flag for review' feature.

The application has been designed to support learners studying the Level 1 Award/Certificate/Diploma in Retail Skills (QCF) and features adapted content from the acclaimed SmartScreen.co.uk website.

The App is available free for a limited time only, with support for the following units:

• Unit 101: Move goods and materials manually in a retail environment
• Unit 102: Keep stock at required levels in a retail environment
• Unit 103: Sort donated goods for resale or recycling in a retail environment
