Application of number
• Suggestions to add a few points to the indicative content
![Page 6: Co. Cavan VEC FETAC Level 3 Programme Review](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022012313/5681680f550346895ddd9b70/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Art and Design
• A section on presenting work – Level 4/5 standard
• Too many finished pieces required
![Page 7: Co. Cavan VEC FETAC Level 3 Programme Review](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022012313/5681680f550346895ddd9b70/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Breakfast Cookery
• Evidencing some of the skills demonstrations was difficult
• A lot of content for only 5 credits
![Page 8: Co. Cavan VEC FETAC Level 3 Programme Review](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022012313/5681680f550346895ddd9b70/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Career Preparation
• Difficult to source materials for the course• Too difficult for many Youthreach learners• Perhaps too much to cover
![Page 9: Co. Cavan VEC FETAC Level 3 Programme Review](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022012313/5681680f550346895ddd9b70/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Communications
• Suggestions to remove some of the indicative content, e.g. the personal letter
• Interpersonal communication needs reworking with not as much having to be covered, clearer
![Page 10: Co. Cavan VEC FETAC Level 3 Programme Review](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022012313/5681680f550346895ddd9b70/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Computer Literacy
• Some tutors unsure of 3rd skills demonstration, more clarification needed
• Too much theory
![Page 11: Co. Cavan VEC FETAC Level 3 Programme Review](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022012313/5681680f550346895ddd9b70/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
ESOL
• Too many reading pieces• Insufficient emphasis on writing
![Page 12: Co. Cavan VEC FETAC Level 3 Programme Review](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022012313/5681680f550346895ddd9b70/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

Internet Skills
• Too theory based• Some discrepancies between indicative
content and specific assessment
![Page 15: Co. Cavan VEC FETAC Level 3 Programme Review](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022012313/5681680f550346895ddd9b70/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Mathematics
• Possibly too much information in the indicative content, difficult for learners to complete the component due to the amount of work that needs to be covered
![Page 16: Co. Cavan VEC FETAC Level 3 Programme Review](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022012313/5681680f550346895ddd9b70/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Managing Personal Finances
• Details such as APR difficult for the learner
![Page 17: Co. Cavan VEC FETAC Level 3 Programme Review](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022012313/5681680f550346895ddd9b70/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Personal Care and Presentation
• Hair washing procedure should be a skills demonstration not collection of work, but FETAC have stated 100% portfolio
![Page 18: Co. Cavan VEC FETAC Level 3 Programme Review](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022012313/5681680f550346895ddd9b70/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Personal Effectiveness
• Some assessments too vague
![Page 19: Co. Cavan VEC FETAC Level 3 Programme Review](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022012313/5681680f550346895ddd9b70/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Woodwork
• No issues!
![Page 20: Co. Cavan VEC FETAC Level 3 Programme Review](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022012313/5681680f550346895ddd9b70/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Word processing
• Some indicative content too detailed• Some important aspects left out
![Page 21: Co. Cavan VEC FETAC Level 3 Programme Review](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022012313/5681680f550346895ddd9b70/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Just a reminder….• Indicative content – ‘indicative’ – it’s a sign
of what you should be covering• All learning outcomes must be covered• All specific assessment must be covered• Sometimes learning outcomes are
repeated or they overlap, integrate where possible
![Page 22: Co. Cavan VEC FETAC Level 3 Programme Review](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022012313/5681680f550346895ddd9b70/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
To sum up..• Indicative content – match this content to
your learning outcomes• If it states ‘to include’ – you should cover
all, if it states ‘for example’ – choose the most appropriate examples
• Check the specific assessment• …….then you are ready to start writing
your assessment briefs….
