From September 2007, all new entrants to teaching in the sector will be required to complete a new award which will prepare them to teach. This is a small introductory course which will give a threshold status to teach. For more information, please read the full story.

Extended registration and certification end dates

OCR is pleased to confirm that this qualification has been extended. The registration end date is now 31 March 2009 and the certification end date is 31 March 2012.

Overview

This qualification has been developed to recognise the knowledge and skills demonstrated by those who support adult learners in the development of literacy skills. It has been designed to develop and accredit both awareness of the wider social and learning issues related to the development of literacy skills and also an advanced level of personal literacy skills. It has been developed to meet the Department for Education and Skills requirements that all new support staff for adult literacy must hold a subject support qualification endorsed by the Further Education National Training Organisation (FENTO).

The qualification aims to develop candidates' skills and knowledge and to recognise their achievements in a practical way that is relevant to the work context. It is anticipated that much of the practical evidence that is required to meet the assessment requirements of the qualification will be naturally occurring.
