The course is composed of five units of which two are mandatory:

Unit 1 Working in the Sector

Unit 2 Supporting Learners

You then need to take one of the following units:

Unit 3 Literacy

Unit 4 Numeracy

Unit 5 ESOL

At the end of the course, you will be fully prepared to administer initial screening of those enrolling on basic literacy, numeracy or ESOL programmes, provide support for learning activities as directed by the tutor, support the organisation and maintenance of the learning environment and monitor learners' response to their activities.

How will I be assessed?

Each unit is assessed by an assignment. For unit 1, this is set and marked by City & Guilds. For all the other units the assignments are set and marked by us. You will also need to undertake a minimum of an 8 hour learner support practice placement.

What are the entry requirements?
