The programme is now finished for this academic
year and regrettably we are no longer accepting
applications.
The overall aim of this element of the programme is to improve
the effectiveness of individual learning. The support gives
priority to the initial and diagnostic assessment processes, the
critically important issue of feedback to learners, planning
learning and reviewing progress and achievement as well as the role
of the Individual Learning Plan (ILP) in guiding the learner
journey.
