Central Institute of Technology's Skills Recognition Service is designed to help you to gain formal recognition for the skills and knowledge you may already have. This may mean that you are given a credit towards a qualification you wish to achieve and you don't waste time covering things you already know. The way in which you have learnt something isn't necessarily important. Skills Recognition places an emphasis on assessment. This can happen in a number of ways:
- A collection of evidence you present to us (portfolio)
- Challenge testing
- Direct observation of your work
