2 Centre requirements Approval If your Centre is approved to offer the following qualifications: • Functional Skills (3748) • Adult Numeracy (3792) you can apply for approval for the new Awards/Certificate in Mathematics Skills (3847-21/ 22/23) using the Fast Track Approval Form, available from the City & Guilds website. Centres should use the Fast Track Form if: • there have been no changes to the way the qualifications are delivered, and • they meet all of the approval criteria in the fast track form guidance notes. Fast track approval is available for 12 months from the launch of the qualification. After 12 months, the Centre will have to go through the standard Qualification Approval Process. The centre is responsible for checking that fast track approval is still current at the time of application. To offer these qualifications, new centres will need to gain both centre and qualification approval. Please refer to the Centre Manual - Supporting Customer Excellence for further information. Centre staff should familiarise themselves with the structure, content and assessment requirements of the qualifications before designing a course programme.

2.1 Resource requirements Human resources To meet the quality assurance criteria for these qualifications, the centre must ensure that the following internal roles are undertaken: • Quality Assurance Co-ordinator • Trainer/Tutor • Assessor (for internally assessed components) • Internal Quality Assurer(s) (for internally assessed components). These roles are defined more fully in the document ‘Qualification and Systems Consultant Roles’ Further supporting quality assurance documents can be found here: http://www.cityandguilds.com/Provide-Training/Centre-Support/Centre-Document- Library/Policies-and-Procedures/Quality-Assurance-Documents Centre Staffing Staff delivering these qualifications must be: • competent in the Mathematics being taught and assessed • fully conversant with the National Standards for Adult Numeracy and the subject criteria for Functional Skills Mathematics • for any internal assessments, they must also be familiar with and be able to apply the marking/assessment criteria. Teaching qualifications and subject specialist qualifications It is good practice for staff to hold or be working towards a recognised teacher training qualification and/or relevant subject-specific teaching qualification, and depending on delivery setting/location this might be necessary to obtain public funding. Centre staff may undertake more than one role, eg tutor and assessor or internal quality assurer, but cannot internally verify their own assessments. Assessor and internal quality assurance qualifications Assessor/Internal Quality Assurer TAQA qualifications are valued as qualifications for centre staff but they are not currently a requirement for these qualifications. Continuing professional development (CPD) Centres are expected to support their staff in ensuring that their knowledge of the skills standards, delivery and assessment requirements, remains current. 21 Qualification Handbook - Awards/Certificates in Mathematics Skills (3847-21/22/23)
