Upfront Assessment of Need (UAN)

All prospective students seeking a Skills SA-subsidised training place must complete an Upfront Assessment of Need (UAN) in accordance with Skills SA requirements. For apprentices/trainees undertaking training under a Training Contract, permitted UAN timing provisions apply in accordance with Skills SA guidelines.

Salford College conducts the UAN in three stages:

• Suitability assessment: We discuss your goals, prior experience and whether this course is suitable for you.
• Support needs assessment: We identify any learning or personal support you may need and plan how it will be provided.
• Literacy and numeracy assessment: We assess your reading and numeracy capabilities to identify any foundation skills support required.

Digital capability: As part of the suitability and support needs assessment, we consider your digital skills and access to the device, internet and online tools required for the course, and discuss any support needed.
Salford College will explain the assessment outcomes and arrange identified support in accordance with Skills SA requirements, including permitted training-contract timing provisions.
