“A City & Guilds Assured programme offers external validation from a trusted global brand, providing a mark of learning quality and credibility.

An ‘Assured’ status is only awarded to programmes that meet City & Guilds strict benchmark standards, demonstrating commitment to quality training.”

The KAZ neurodiverse touch typing program has achieved and exceeded the above and is now City & Guilds Assured and SFE approved.

On successfully completing the course, candidates will receive a digital certificate and a co-branded digital credential/badge to showcase their quality skill externally via the web on social media profiles, CVs and job applications.

The main purpose of this City & Guilds edition is to incentivise students to complete the course, instill confidence in their ability and achievement and validate this ‘life skill’.

Coming soon: • Article Naace - Spring 2019 magazine • Article Education-today - April magazine Thank you to everyone for your support …The KAZ Team Q. Why did you develop the Neurodiverse Edition?

A. Feedback from Teachers and Senco’s informed us that approximately 10% of their students were still suffering with visual disturbances, despite our course being SEN enabled. We wanted our product to make a difference to the lives of ALL individuals, so we contacted the foremost authority on Dyslexia research - the British Dyslexia Research Trust to advise and guide us with the development.

Q. Why did you develop the Neurodiverse City & Guilds edition?

A. Assessors informed us that they were recommending our software because they really believed it would make a difference to their students but they found that because it wasn’t a ‘quick fix’, some students would start but not complete the course. To address this issue we decided to incentivise students by validating the course and awarding all successful students with digital credentials from a globally recognised body.

STOP PRESS…STOP PRESS…

Happy Easter from the team at KAZ
