Diagnostic Assessment
Diagnostic assessments are an important part of helping individuals gain a better understanding of their specific learning strengths and weaknesses; serving as a way of determining individual learning styles.
The assessment can take up to three hours as learners complete a series of standardised tests. As experienced assessors, we aim to create a professional yet relaxed atmosphere to reduce anxiety and ensure the assessment process is a positive and life-affirming experience for all.
The resultant assessment report documents in detail the assessment findings and provides recommendations for appropriate learning support strategies/solutions.
Assessments normally take place at our home office in SE13, however we are happy to complete assessments in educational and workplace settings, but we do not make home visits.
