Recognising and Recording Progress and Achievement (RARPA)

Stage 2 Initial Assessment

Establish the learner’s starting point; what do they already know? What is their previous experience, knowledge or skills of the subject? Identify additional needs in English and maths.  Evidence will include some or all of the following:-

• Pre-course questionnaire or telephone call

• Online assessment

• Identify how this will be recorded (learning logs/skills check/Curriculum Plans/RARPA Toolkit)
