National Certificate in Literacy

Learner Profile

Achievement of a National Certificate will prove the learner’s level of competence in literacy, and be a key factor in the skills and abilities they can bring to the workplace.  Learn to ... can offer this award at Levels 1 or 2 to learners who are currently studying for an NVQ Level 2 or 3.  To be eligible for funding for this award, learners must not already hold a full Level 2 qualification.  They can be registered for the award whilst working towards their NVQ, which means they will be able to continue with the literacy qualification after their NVQ is finished.  We can also offer a stand-alone National Certificate to learners who are not taking an NVQ. 

• Improve your workforce skills in recording and reporting.

• Give your employees the opportunity to obtain a qualification in addition to their NVQ.

Course Outline

Before beginning their NVQ, each learner will complete an initial assessment.  This will generate a Skills for Life Individual Learning Plan. The learner’s assessor will use this to support embedded learning within the NVQ towards the appropriate literacy level.  When the assessor feels that the learner has achieved competence, the Coordinator will carry out a diagnostic assessment with the learner, and identify any outstanding areas where support is needed. 

Learners will be given a practice test disc to enable them to gain confidence and competence in the test level appropriate to their skills.  They will be registered to take the national test at a date and time which best suits them – this may be a paper-based test or an online test, and may be done at their workplace or at the Learn to Care offices.
