Literacy and numeracy skills
A literacy and numeracy assessment is part of the preparation for all levels one to three
programmes. This
is a national requirement from the Tertiary Education Commission
(TEC). This information gives your tutors information on what you already know to help
them provide the help that you may need in your studies. There are two assessments.
The first assessment will take place within the first three weeks of the programme.
The
second will be a week or two before you finish the programme. This final assessment
will show how you have improved with your Literacy and Numeracy skills. There will
always be a tutor to help you when doing the assessment. The most important thing to
know about this assessment is that you CANNOT fail. You will merely get information
on your literacy and numeracy skills. The result will NOT have an impact on any of your
assessment marks in your course work.
Assessments
There will be regular assessment of your work with tutor feedback aimed at helping you
to achieve your goals. A good level of attendance and a willingness to participate and
learn are requirements for successful completion of this programme.
In the final week of your programme you will, with tutor assistance, compile a portfolio of
your work. This will be used in the final assessment of your work and may then be used
