Learner placement
Once the learner has completed all parts of the assessment, you need to make a decision about the level of the learner. When you have made your decision you can complete the results page on the learner information form by ticking the correct level of the four skills.
Based on the interview, you should be able to identify on the learner information form the most suitable learning opportunity for the learner. It may be possible that you do not have an appropriate learning opportunity available for the learner and feel they are more suited to a learning opportunity with another organisation. If this is the case, you should refer the learner to the new organisation and give them their learner information form to take with them.
You should write the recommended programme/course and level in the last box on the form. Complete this part with the learner. The level at which the learner is assessed should also be recorded on the front of the form, as this is required if the learner is applying for naturalisation or settlement (Citizenship or Indefinite Leave to Remain). See the section on Informing the learner of the outcome for more information. The learner information form must always be passed on to the learner’s new tutor/teacher and a copy should be given to the learner.
Levels used are based on the SCQF and SQA NQ ESOL levels. However, providers using other levels such as English as a Foreign Language (EFL) or levels matched to exam boards can consult the equivalence table in Appendix 1.
