DAAPCONL- July 2025

A refresher course for practitioners seeking to gain or to renew an Assessment Practising Certificate.

Please note: You should already be familiar with diagnostic assessment report writing to enable you to attend this course. 

By completing this course you will be able to:

• Demonstrate understanding of important basic APC statistical constructs such as understanding reliability and using different tables within manuals including CTOPP 2, WIAT III, Tests of Dyslexia and DASH 2
• Consider the current structure of report writing formats (these can be used until January 2027)
• Think more about report writing styles: what works and what doesn’t?
• Consider the purpose of access arrangements
• Evaluate different learner profiles managing both quantitative and qualitative information
• Demonstrate commitment to undertake continuing professional development (CPD) activities in order to maintain professional practice standards.

Please note: the course does not provide advice on: 

• Individual assessment test items (which would breach copyright)
• Participants’ wider queries about report writing (i.e. tutors cannot look at samples of participants’ professional work/findings or offer advice on specific examples of interpretation outside the context of the course materials)

This is a four week online course with 12 hours study.
