What will I be learning

The course will begin to strengthen your number skills including use of the four rules of number and handling data.  In addition, you will develop vital study skills which will help you to be a successful learner.

How will I be assessed and supported

At DALS, we use an Individual Learning Plan to set and review targets and provide feedback, enabling continual reflection and evaluation throughout the course.

You will use your ILP to help track and monitor your own progress towards set goals, to support your personal development and achievement.
At enrolment, it is important that you tell us if you have a learning difficulty or disability which may require support. Learners declaring a support need will be referred for an assessment. If an enhanced support need is confirmed, a Support Package will be offered, to assist your progress in your learning and development, specific to your assessed needs.
