Planning to meet the needs of learners in education and training

We do not use a diagnostic assessment as the students are fourteen and just starting their GCSE years we have a very firm link with the school they attend and have full diagnostic results and reports form the teaching staff at the school. This gives us very clear and in-depth information on the students and if they require any further learning aids.

There are several ways in which we would initial and diagnostic test future students for NVQ. Looking at any prior learning that is relevant to the course, levels of functional skills, any health issues and learning difficulties such as Dyslexia,...
