  • What this level covers

    You work through the purpose of a CV and a cover letter, a simple clear layout, contact details and personal statements, describing experience and skills with action words, listing education, keeping to a sensible length, and checking spelling and formatting before sending.

  • Who it suits

    This level suits school leavers, graduates and career changers writing a CV or cover letter for the first time or after a long gap. It fits anyone who wants a clear, calm explanation of what employers expect to see.

  • What you can apply afterwards

    You should be able to produce a tidy first CV and a short cover letter that present your background clearly. You will also know how to check both documents for common mistakes before sending them to an employer.

Inside this material

A CV has only a short time to make its case, and a cover letter has to explain why you, why this role and why now. This e-learning material treats both documents as a planning exercise: understand the role, gather your evidence and present it in the order a reader needs.

Early levels cover choosing a clear layout, writing a short profile, describing experience through achievements rather than duties, and presenting skills, education and gaps honestly. Later levels explain how applicant tracking systems read a CV, how to tailor it to a job description without copying it, and how to write a cover letter that is specific, brief and easy to read.

As you progress, you rewrite your own CV and draft a cover letter for a real vacancy, leaving you with documents you can adapt for each future application.
