Deliver Fully Online Learning and Auto-Assessed CSCS Green Card Content

Having a green card is increasingly becoming a mandatory requirement on many construction sites across the UK. Without a green card, a worker may not be allowed to work on certain sites, limiting their employment opportunities in the construction industry. However, there are still several factors putting workers off training and obtaining their green card but by understanding the needs of potential learners and adapting to a fully online and auto-assessed delivery, you could open the doors to an enhanced cohort of learners.

Let’s see why:

• Cost worries – The cost of the training and assessments required to obtain a green card can be a barrier for some individuals, particularly if they are not in full-time employment or are on a low income. However, with one of our suppliers, training and exams are available through AEB up until the final purchase of the green card (£36), so you’d be more inviting to learners as you can help to fund their training.

• Time is precious – Some individuals may not have the time to attend training sessions or complete the necessary assessments due to work or family commitments. Through this offering, you’d be able to deliver training fully online so learners and tutors time is spent wisely. Delivering content that is fully mobile optimised also allows learners to genuinely study anywhere, at any time.

• Fear of failure – The assessments required to obtain a green card can be daunting for some individuals, particularly if they have not studied or taken exams for some time. This content is auto assessed meaning students don’t have the fear of going back into an educational setting, they can study online at their own pace– there’s no waiting around for tutor feedback or surprise results at the end as learners are marked along the way.

How could you as a college or ITP benefit?

• Enrich your tutor resources – With the delivery of this qualification being completely auto-assessed, you remove the need for tutors to deliver, freeing up teaching time for more individualised sessions and enriching the learning of those that prefer the extra human support.

• Increase learner cohorts –With learners having access to online materials, the need for them to come into college becomes less. This means that you will be able to expand your reach of learners geographically and also increase capacity of possible students.

• Understand your students’ ways of working – As a college or ITP, having the option of auto-assessed resources allows you to recognise that one size does not fit all when it comes to upskilling your students. Some students want to log in, learn and have their assessments marked immediately without the intervention of a tutor – and some want to login, learn and have the support of the tutor there if and when they need them. With auto-assessed resources, having the flexibility ultimately means that the time tutors spend with students becomes higher quality as they are able to deal with important and personalised sessions and their time if freed from those students that want to learn on their own.

• Increase pass rates – Flexible, efficient learning increases productivity for both learners and tutors meaning you are on track to increase your pass rates.

How does AEB auto-assessed content work?

As a college or ITP you could already be delivering AEB qualifications via classroom or online with the need of a tutor support. With auto-assessed content, the learner would go through the same interactive eLearning content as normal online delivery, working at their own pace, engaging with immersive video content. They can log in whenever they want, from wherever they want.

What’s different is only when it comes to the assessments, they are all auto-assessed meaning no tutor intervention is needed. Students’ work can be ‘marked’ immediately enabling them to get on with learning straight away. The student can gain a nationally recognised qualification more efficiently as they don’t need to wait for tutors grading or feedback.

It is slightly different to obtain your Green Card because all training and exams are available through AEB funding right up until the final stage when you apply for the green card, meaning the cost is kept to a minimum.
