Assessment is ongoing and consistent throughout the year, this is evident via an initial screening process and then regularly via Learn. Learners are assessed on an individual basis by the tutor and through the verification of completed portfolio units. Learn allows for the learner to log in and view their process and targets so they are always aware of their individual achievement to date. Three progress reviews and regular staff meetings ensure that the assessment and review process continues to map individual progression.

Whilst there are no formal entry requirements, you are required to show willingness to learn, participate in class and develop your skills.
