1. A new full three-part Final Assessment must be undertaken.
2. The Final Assessment must be undertaken within six months of the date of last resit attempt.
3. This option is only open to candidates who have recently completed the whole SSC Braille Competency course and failed for the second time.
4. Payment of £60 is received for each new attempt to cover to cover marking of assessment, moderation of assessment and admin processes required.

Uncontracted Braille Competency Course 2024-25

£325.00

Description

SSC Braille Competency Course 2024-25: Uncontracted

Scottish Sensory Centre, Moray House School of Education, The University of Edinburgh: Course Tutor: Diane McLellan

This course has been validated by the Scottish Qualifications Authority (SQA) and on satisfactory completion of the Final Assessment exam an SQA Certificate will be awarded. This is a distance learning course designed for sighted people who are working with children and young people who use uncontracted Braille, ie, teachers, learning support assistants, parents, etc. Course members will have up to 3 months, from receipt of the course materials, to complete the course, including the Final Assessment exam. The course runs continuously for this period - holidays are not factored into the timetable.

The SSC’s Braille course is based on the centre’s belief that all learners of Braille should do so by using a Perkins Braille Writer (or other paper carrying machine) and paper. Offering a Braille course that can be accessed via an electronic device may mislead a new and/or inexperienced practitioner into believing that this is also the best way to teach young children. Effective and efficient use of two hands is essential for reading and interpreting tactile diagrams; this technique can only be developed by reading a hard Braille copy, never by using a Braille display that shows only a single line at a time. For young children learning Braille the importance of developing a good, two-handed reading technique can never be over emphasised.
