Pre-training review
All students take part in a pre-training review to identify their training needs, including any previous training and its relevance to this qualification, basic computing skills for classroom learning, and (for international students) confirmation that they meet the English language requirements. The review also checks whether any part of the qualification can be achieved through recognition of prior learning.
Language, literacy and numeracy (LLN)
All students complete an LLN assessment during enrolment so that any reasonable adjustments to learning and assessment can be identified. Where a student does not have an adequate level of LLN, they will be referred to an external provider for additional study and will re-sit the LLN assessment before being accepted for enrolment. The cost of any additional LLN training is the student's responsibility.
