Initial assessment, digital skills diagnostic and resources
Providers will be required to carry out a thorough initial assessment to determine the individual’s current level for Digital Functional Skills.
With this in mind, we have developed a new Digital Functional Skills diagnostic assessment based on the new national standards for Digital Functional Skills within our Skills Builder platform.
NCFE have worked alongside the digital subject matter experts who developed the national standards for the Department for Education, to make sure we provide the most accurate initial assessment and resources that will help support learners and apprentices on the most appropriate digital programme.
The new digital entitlement will support learners with no or low digital skills. New national standards have been developed for digital skills and will replace legacy ICT standards.
New topics within the Digital Functional Skills qualifications include:
- Using devices and handling information
- Creating and editing
- Communicating
- Transacting
- Being safe and responsible online.
The new Digital Functional Skills offer will be available at Entry Level 3 and Level 1. This will enable learners to develop the digital skills they need for a range of purposes.
Once the learner has completed their initial and diagnostic assessment, they will be able to access an individual skills plan with bespoke resources tailored to their skills gaps.
Resources include:
- Interactive and non-interactive PDF workbooks
- Supporting videos
- Interactive tasks
- Summative assessments
Foundation Level resources
For digital beginners we offer a bank of Foundation Level resources including 8 introductory workbooks with 8 accompanying videos. Once the learner has completed these, they will be ready to start the Entry Level 3 course.
