BACKGROUND
This example of assessment targets those individuals with learning difficulties. These difficulties are especially pronounced in communication, number and IT. As a result, any attempt to assess their basic or key skills must acknowledge the need to make both the assessment techniques and methods of presentation appropriate to their specific needs. This focuses upon language and ensuring the assessments allow the individual to build up information and evidence of achievement. The example that follows tries to combine these to produce an effective assessment programme that can be used with trainees and job seekers of all ages.
