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 />
