What is the Vocational Indicator (VI)?
The Vocational Indicator (VI) is a secure, standardised, online assessment and reporting system for identifying a candidate's level of capability in:
- abstract reasoning
- literacy
- mechanical reasoning
- numeracy
The Vocational Indicator has been designed for individuals, educational and corporate institutions who are interested in assessing and determining a candidate's readiness for vocational study and training.
The Vocational Indicator can be utilised as:
- a screening instrument to identify 'best performance'
- a tool to identify literacy, numeracy and reasoning skill gaps
- a learning path for candidates to make progress towards the skills needed in relation to qualifications, work demands or social contexts
Improving a candidate's confidence in reading, maths and generic reasoning ensures a smoother transition into further education.The Vocational Indicator provides teachers with information on an individual candidate's readiness to cope with a new learning or training environment.
As an aptitude test, the Vocational Indicator measures a candidate's ability to understand information presented to them and to apply this to practical and realistic 'real life' problems.
The Vocational Indicator focuses specifically on skills deemed to be important for the study of a vocational qualification and associated future workplace skills.
While the Assessment Tool provides a starting point for understanding the literacy and numeracy skills of Learners, in some cases, it may be necessary to use other tools or techniques to drill deeper into the literacy and numeracy skills of some Learners.
