Thanet College ILT self assessment Survey - Work based Learning - 2006

This survey replaces the written ticklist that was included in Section Reviews previously and is almost a copy of the Electronic survey this Section completed at last review. A Question for tutors relating to the Learning Curve has been added. Tutors should now complete this online assessment. The information is gathered to help give a picture of the overall Section & College position. In a sense it will add to the information we are gathering via the E Skills passport. It is not used for any other purpose. Press the submit button when you reach the end.
