3 Course design and delivery<br />

Initial assessment and <strong>in</strong>duction<br />

Centres will need to make an <strong>in</strong>itial assessment of each learner prior to the start of their programme<br />

to ensure they are entered for an appropriate type and level of qualification.<br />

The <strong>in</strong>itial assessment should identify:<br />

• any specific tra<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g needs the learner has, and the support and guidance they may require<br />

when work<strong>in</strong>g towards their qualification. This is sometimes referred to as diagnostic test<strong>in</strong>g<br />

• any units the learner has already completed, which are relevant to the qualification they are<br />

about to beg<strong>in</strong>.<br />

<strong>City</strong> & <strong>Guilds</strong> recommends that centres provide an <strong>in</strong>duction programme to ensure the learner fully<br />

understands the requirements of the qualification they will work towards, their responsibilities as a<br />

learner, and the responsibilities of the centre. It may be helpful to record the <strong>in</strong>formation on a<br />

learn<strong>in</strong>g contract.<br />

Recommended delivery strategies<br />

Centre staff should familiarise themselves with the structure, content and assessment requirements<br />

of the qualification before design<strong>in</strong>g a course programme.<br />

Centres may design course programmes of study <strong>in</strong> any way which:<br />

• best meets the needs and capabilities of their learners<br />

• satisfies the requirements of the qualification<br />

• <strong>in</strong>cludes extra topics that meet local needs, if appropriate<br />

• comb<strong>in</strong>es theory and practical activities, as appropriate<br />

When design<strong>in</strong>g and deliver<strong>in</strong>g the course programme, centres might wish to <strong>in</strong>corporate other<br />

teach<strong>in</strong>g and learn<strong>in</strong>g that is not assessed as part of the qualification. This might <strong>in</strong>clude the<br />

follow<strong>in</strong>g:<br />

• literacy, language and/or numeracy<br />

• personal learn<strong>in</strong>g and th<strong>in</strong>k<strong>in</strong>g<br />

• personal and social development<br />

• employability<br />

Where applicable, this could <strong>in</strong>volve enabl<strong>in</strong>g the learner to access relevant qualifications cover<strong>in</strong>g<br />

these skills.<br />

Certification<br />

Learners who successfully complete the required assessments with<strong>in</strong> the qualification will receive a<br />

certificate list<strong>in</strong>g all units achieved.<br />
