Professional Development Awards are designed for people who are normally in a career or vocation who wish to extend or broaden their skills base. However, in some cases they will be designed for those wishing to enter employment. They will assess and certificate progression in a defined set of specialist occupational areas.
This qualification's aim is to give candidates awareness of adult literacies need in Scotland and to prepare them to undertake the role of Tutor Assistant, supporting a learner or learners to develop their reading, writing and numeracy capabilities.
The qualification is mainly aimed at those wishing to enter employment, in a paid or unpaid capacity, but it is also a suitable qualification for people already working as Tutor Assistants.
