At Open Awards, we take a 360-approach to supporting our learners on their education journey. A key part of this is obviously our qualifications, apprenticeship standards and courses. But, without additional resources, support and tools, a qualification can easily become just another piece of paper. To enable our learners to achieve more than just a qualification, we offer a range of support designed to create a comprehensive and meaningful learner experience.
Today, we’re focusing on our provider Pass to spotlight how their services enhance the learners’ journey.
Who are Pass?
Pass are a leading provider of educational software services. They provide high-quality courses in maths and English, ensuring that millions of learners have access to engaging and effective educational content. By combining our expertise with Pass’s cutting-edge digital learning resources, we are creating a holistic educational experience that addresses the evolving needs of learners today.
We work with them both as their awarding body and as a partner. Not only do they provide an online platform that empowers learners to complete their Functional Skills assessments, but they also offer their diagnostic tools to all our providers completely free of charge.
Free diagnostic tools
As part of our partnership with Pass, our providers have access to two of their diagnostic tools: Initial Assessments and Subject Knowledge Assessments. Both tools are designed to identify the learner’s needs and help our providers tailor their teaching methods to their learners.
- Initial Assessments – A bespoke assessment that determines what level a learner is currently working at and suggests which course they should be enrolled on after completion.
- Subject Knowledge Assessments – A course-specific assessment that assesses a learner’s capability across the curriculum and helps tailor their revision through recommended topics.
Learner success
Pass empowers their learners to achieve through interactive and accessible resources that make learning more engaging and adaptable to different learning styles.
"I stopped going to maths lessons because it was just too much for me to bear. I didn’t understand it… I’ve had maths tutors for two years prior to joining Pass. Previously, I just felt they were talking at me, and I just couldn’t grasp it until I came to Pass." – Jordan, Maths Level 2 Functional Skills
Looking ahead
We are excited to continue working closely with Pass to further support our learners. This year promises to bring new opportunities for innovation, enhanced learning experiences, and a continued focus on quality education.
