Numeracy Skills

​

YTP has developed a numeracy skills programme to help you develop these skills step-by-step.

 

Using the popular and Industry-recognised BKSB software system along with a subject specialist to help you develop your skills level.

​

The programme of learning starts by completing an initial assessment, which will tell us what level you are currently working at. 

Numeracy Skills Levels and Equivalents 

​

 

Entry Level 1

Key Stage 1 - Age 5-7

Entry Level 2

Entry Level 3

Once we have worked out what numeracy level you are currently working at, we carry out some diagnostic assessments, which tells us at this level what you are already good at and what areas you need support with. 

​

Once the diagnostics are completed we then put together an individual learning plan and with ongoing support, feedback and guidance from you Learning Development Tutor work through until you are ready for assessment.

Numeracy Skills Assessment

 

Entry Level 1 to 3 assessments are through the completion of a workbook to demonstrate you have the skills and knowledge at this level. This will then be marked by your Learning Development Tutor and Quality Assured by our internal team. Once you have been assessed as competent you will be issued with a certificate. You can then decide if you want to continue developing your numeracy skills by starting the next level.

​
