Description
The provider of Essential Skills will support staff to achieve these qualifications via an initial assessment process which will ascertain what current level the learner is working to in a functional skills capacity.

The initial assessment should offer a transparent and formulated process, ensuring both literacy and numeracy are assessed and that all relevant Management Information can be audited either by the MOJ or Ofsted.
The Ministry of Justice anticipates that there will be substantial recruitment in operational roles over the next 3 - 5 years with an approximate number of e 2,500 learners. Therefore, the provider of Essential Skills must have the capacity to provide the appropriate service taking into account the potential volume of learners.

- 1 -1 support via phone or email to the individual learner
- Face to face classroom sessions - local to the learner i.e. establishment learning centre
