FAST TRACK YOUR WAY TO SUCCESS!

Our Fast Track learning route is proving to be the most successful method yet for our learners, with quick response rates by ourselves to adapt to the needs of our clients, whether it be from gaining a Level 2 qualification in English or Maths in order to gain a place at University or to equip yourself with some essential Employability Skills or IT knowledge and confidence.

We can help YOU progress quickly and effectively, supported every step of the way our dedicated tutors and support staff through regular progress reviews.

What we need from you........

We need you to be committed and motivated. Our Fast Track route requires daily interaction with your course for approximately 3 hours a day (depending on programme). If you are unemployed, for example, it would be beneficial to put 2 - 3 weeks aside to dedicate to gaining a qualification. Use the time you have in an effective and productive way - everyone who achieves at our centres leaves with not just a qualification, but also confidence and skills which they can take with them into every day life.

Ask about our NEW Accelerated Achievement Programes - intensive courses delivered over 1/2 weeks at our Head Office and Trining Centre in Park Road. Daily attendance at the centre is required.

Courses and Qualifications - the majority are completely free of charge

Foundation Learning Entry Level 2 and 3 in IT - the first formal steps to gaining a qualification in IT. An ideal step up from UK Online!

English and Maths courses and qualifications - a requirement for most employees, colleges and universities

Employability and Work Skills qualifications - especially for those who have been out of work for some time

ECDL Essentials and Extra qualifications (Beginners and Intermediate)* - an enhancer for any CV quickly building proficiency at using the most popular Microsoft applications such as Word, Excel and Powerpoint.

Three Stage Enrolment

STAGE 1 – Information, Advice & Guidance

Information, Advice and Guidance (IAG) session arranged with a member of Numidia staff. This 15 minute IAG session may take place at one of our centres or may have been booked through Jobcentre Plus (Cofa Court) on a Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday morning.

IAG takes place and the most appropriate learning route is identified. An appointment will then be made for registration at our Library Centre or Park Road Centre depending on learning route which will be either Accelerated Achievement Programme (AAP) or Fast Track. Individuals reminded of the necessity to ensure they take ID and proof of benefits with them to their Registration appointment – otherwise we cannot proceed with registration.

STAGE 2 – Registration & Assessment

Registration needs to be made and will last for approximately 10 minutes. ID and proof of benefit will be checked and recorded at this time. We cannot proceed if we are unable to verify ID or proof of benefit.

Assessment will then be activated (Initial Assessment, Check Your Knowledge) and the learner is able to log on to the learndirect system and work through their assessment. Learners are issued with a username and password which they need to keep safe and bring to all appointments. Starter packs issued and Numidia Policies and procedures including Health & Safety are discussed at this time. Skills for Life learners will be advised of the Diagnostic stage.

Once all assessment and diagnostics are complete and results saved/printed and analysed, an appointment will then be made for full enrolment onto programme of learning.

STAGE 3 – Programme Enrolment

Attendance at a 30 or 60 minute appointment (depending on programme) in order for full enrolment to take place. The results of assessments/diagnostics will have been analysed and are recorded on the learning system.

Discussions take place throughout enrolment to agree planned end dates etc. Once enrolment onto the programme has taken place a copy of the Learning Agreement needs to be signed by both learner/Numidia. The Individual Learning Agreement (ILP) will then be completed as well as the Initial Progress Review. Learner is shown how to access their courses and learning can now commence.

We want to help YOU get into work or further learning.
