It is mapped to National Curriculum requirements in Spoken English, Reading and Writing at Key Stage 3 and provides excellent opportunities to achieve Gatsby benchmarks through the content of talks, interviews and role-play scenarios. The target learner group is Year 7 pupils. Preparation time for the assessment is approximately one term, but this can be planned flexibly to suit your learners. <\/span><span style=\"font-size:12.0pt;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;\">Assessments take place in groups, with a maximum number of 20 learners per day. Each learner is assessed individually and interacts with the group and the assessor. Face-to-face assessments are held in person, with an ESB-trained assessor at your centre.
