Literacy and Numeracy Skills
A literacy and numeracy assessment is part of the preparation for
all level one to three programmes. This is a national requirement
from the Tertiary Education Commission (TEC). This information
gives your tutors information on what you already know to help
them provide the help that you may need in your studies.
There are two assessments. The first assessment will take place
within the first three weeks of the programme. The second will
be a week or two before you finish the programme. This final
assessment will show how you have improved with your Literacy
and Numeracy skills.
There will always be a tutor to help you when doing the
assessment. The most important thing to know about this
assessment is that you CANNOT fail. You will merely get
information on your literacy and numeracy skills. The result will
NOT have an impact on any of your assessment marks in your
course work.

EIT’s Trades and Technology Training complex offers students a
learning environment which gives them the opportunity to work
in modern workshops modeled on real-world industry. The
purpose built facilities give students access to a comprehensive

Assessments
The assessment for the courses include written assignments, theory
assessment/tests and practical exercises.
