Learner Recruitment & Selection Policy

Introduction

This policy concerns our responsibility to:

Identify learning needs and learning support needs.

Ensure that learners are appropriately placed on courses.

Optimise learner achievement.

Purpose

Learner recruitment and selection procedures should facilitate learners taking responsibility for their own learning.

All staff involved in initial assessment will be properly qualified and skilled and have the relevant up-to-date knowledge.

Implementation

The centre will fully align to the recruitment processes of our clients. All learners nominated by our client will be pre qualified before being nominated to our course. We will only process nominations from the client's authorised person.

During course registration candidate information will be verified with at least 1 photo ID and will be crossed checked with the client's authorised person to ensure that the correct candidate is attending the course.

The course information that will clearly explain: progression routes, content, outcomes, teaching methods and materials that learners may need to reference. The learner will also be made aware of the possibility to claim recognition of prior learning (RPL) in accordance to our RPL Policy.

All teaching staff will assess their learners ability / skills, relevant to the area of learning, in order to identify their learning and support needs at the start of the course.

All teaching staff will ensure that all learners receive an induction appropriate to the course to include, for example: course content, teaching methodologies, tutorials, individual learning plans and methods of assessment.

Humanoid will ensure that the outcomes of learners individual skills assessment and induction will be documented in way that is transparent.

Humanoid will ensure that information from initial assessment is incorporated in an individual and group learning plan.

At the enrolment stage, learners will have the opportunity to identify any learning support needs. Assessors will also monitor learners throughout the course to identify any specific learning support needs.

If the Service does not have the resources to meet the needs of a learner then that learner will be advised on how else to proceed or be referred to alternative provision.
