1C:How is success in learner achievement recognised?

The standard of work produced by learners is very good. Music and events promotion learners work towards group and personal objectives. Learners develop effectively their literacy and numeracy skills by learning how to write press releases, develop sponsorship packages and secure sponsorship money, approach venues and artists, write and distribute flyers, budget and use the telephone effectively. Retention and achievement rates are good. Of those learners who completed their training programme, 87 per cent continued on to further education work experience or employment.

IoWIGT has responded well to requests from employers regarding learners' literacy and numeracy needs. One learner who was having difficulty measuring quantities of materials received good additional support from a member of staff and can now measure and calculate more effectively.

Learners progress rapidly and develop good communication skills. They learn to express their views in a group setting, ask relevant questions and make good eye contact when speaking and listening. When learning computer skills, they show good progress in interpreting symbols and in using technical terms. Learners also make good progress with literacy skills and produce work of a high standard including poetry, note-taking and writing instructions. Reading skills are also well developed, with learners acquiring scanning and skimming skills and quickly learning to cope with relatively complex texts.
