Module № 1: Assessment of key competences 7

Module Objectives
This module is aimed at providing adult education professionals (AEPs) with useful, already tested
European tools to assess key competences of low-qualified adult learners, in particular,
competences in the digital, numeracy and literacy fields. Another aim is to develop AEPs’ skills to
use these tools in the practice, as well as to provide them with suggestions on how and where to
find good and trustworthy online resources for skills assessment for their future work and how to
adapt them to their professional needs. Through these tools AEPs will be able to better involve
low-qualified adult learners in education and adjust the training to their levels and help them to
better deal with everyday life situations.
