| Level 2 Certificate in Adult Learner Support (9297) |
|
What is the aim of the Award? Many people play a variety of roles in supporting those with literacy, language, numeracy, ICT needs, and traditionally, many people have made an important contribution by ‘helping out’ in classes. These roles, captured under the title of Adult Learner Support, are an integral part of the development of the new qualification framework. The full level 2 Certificate for Adult Learner Support will provide training for those who wish to support learners in a learning environment, working under the guidance of a qualified teacher. Are there entry requirements? Candidates must be competent in literacy and numeracy to at least Level 2 before beginning unit 005. This can be demonstrated through the achievement of the adult literacy and numeracy national test (City and Guilds schemes 3792 or 3692), or the relevant key skills qualification (City and Guilds 3638) or Essential Skills (City and Guilds 3800), or through other relevant qualifications. How will I achieve the Award? There are 2 routes for this award. The learning support (Literacy, Numeracy or ESOL) pathway provides training for those who wish to support learners in a learning environment, working under the guidance of a specialist teacher. The Literacy, Language, Numeracy and ICT Awareness pathway has been designed to stand alone and is intended to provide awareness of the Skills for Life Strategy in England (or its equivalents in Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland), for those who promote access to learning.
Candidates must achieve unit 1 and unit 2, to achieve the awareness certificate. For a full award candidates much achieve Units 1, 2, 5 and either 6, 7 or 8. |
