English & Maths Initial Assessment

Created

Hi All,

Can anyone confirm if a recognised initial assessment and diagnostic tool /  system needs to be used for English & Maths? 

We are currently reviewing the online system we use, so if anyone has any good suggestions please share. 

 

Thanks

There's no specific requirement for it to be 'brand name' initial assessment, just that you must conduct one. You're more than welcome to design one in-house, as long as you can defend its robustness if questioned.

The 2 noteworthy ones that spring to mine are BKSB and SkillsForward (formerly ForSkills). I've used both at different providers, and they're both perfectly adequate.
