Target Skills, the UK’s best-selling suite of ICT-based Skills for Life material, has been transformed for the next generation. Target Skills Gold is an all-in-one Skills for Life solution which places the entire classic Target Skills suite on line, together with other web-based resources, to provide screening and assessments and an extensive bank of learning materials, including links to DfES and other free resources. It comes complete with a fully integrated online reporting system which is flexible and learner-centred. Web-based practice tests feed their results into a complete ‘back office system’, which tracks progress and exports data to be imported into your MIS. The system can even be completely customised to meet the needs of commercial organisations, from simple branding to the inclusion of sophisticated information-capture systems.
By logging on to your organisation’s own Target Skills Gold site, each learner can access the skills check, the initial assessment and all the learning resources. In addition, tutors can support their learners wherever Internet access is available – a cost-effective way of utilising staffing resources. Online tutor support means that the suite may be used any time, anywhere. Activities for personalised learning plans are generated automatically or added by the tutor.
Target Skills Gold provides a powerful synthesised solution for colleges, companies and other organisations with skills improvement needs, allowing better use of existing staffing resources, maximising return on investment, and providing the evidence to support the draw-down of funding for skills improvement.
