Usually any such problems would be highlighted during the initial assessment period, when the students undergo a skill builder test, and other assessment procedures. These will recognise any literacy, numeracy or special needs such as dyslexia. If a student is identified as having any of the above then a member of the learning support team will be assigned to the student to guide and support them throughout the course and offer guidance with work and assignments.
