Literacy assessment
When you enrol in this qualification you need to complete the Adult Literacy and Numeracy Assessment. This is a requirement from the Tertiary Education Commission for all Level 1 to 2 qualifications. You will need to do it when you start your studies, and again during your study time.
There is no pass or fail for the assessment. When you finish you can see a visual report with your results. Your tutor will use your results from the first assessment to find out what support you may need.
