How can the VI benefit your organisation?

• The VI clearly identifies students who require assistance or closer monitoring with literacy, numeracy and generic reasoning skills.
• Once  skill gaps are identified, teachers can aid and support students by responding with effective, targeted teaching and appropriate educational resources.
• The VI allows educational institutions to securely compare individuals and groups with national performance levels.
• By understanding and utilising this data, States and Territories across the country can evaluate the effectiveness of their educational programs.
• The VI tracks students progress over the years. When students take the same type of assessment yearly it is easy to see if a student is improving, losing ground, or not showing any progress.

What are the other key features of VI?

• Items that are specifically chosen for the target audience that relate to everyday situations familiar to vocational students.
• A secure online testing format that shows high resolution images and graphs in colour, making it very user friendly for the candidate.
• Each module/section can be completed in only 20 minutes.
• There is no need to install any complex software as the VI can be accessed through Internet connection.
