STRENGTHENING OUR SUPPORT OFFER
HOW DOES IT WORK?
bksb is the market leader in Key Skills and Functional Skills online support and helps
boost learner engagement and success through supporting tutors with:
• Initial Assessment – identifies general working level of the learner
• Diagnostic Assessment – identifies gaps in learners’ skills and develops an
Individual Learner Plan (ILP)
• Learning Resources – interactive learner facing support to develop skills and
provide motivation
• Skill Checks – interactive assessment to confirm learner competence prior to end
assessment
• Functional Skills Scenarios - skills are applied to everyday situations, preparing
the learner for taking functional skills qualifications
