    My assessor came for the first time last week. I had 40 minutes to do a numeracy and literacy test and was supposed to be a very basic interview to see if I was suitable to do the course at the level I wanted. Our meeting was very informal and she suggested I could do level 4 if I wanted. I wouldn't worry about it. I am sure you will be just fine

    I didn't have an actual assessment but I had to attend a two hour course and do a basic numeracy and literacy test.

    Good luck - you'll be fine

    I imagine they will want to make sure you have basic skills in Maths and English - so have your certificates ready...

    Also that you have the children etc available to use for observations and activities...

    Relax and if you don't understand something - ask! That's what they are supposed to be there for!

    I haven't had an assessment - I had to go to the local college for an interview which was very laid back and she spent alot of the time talking about her cats!!!
