Creating and implementing an effective RARPA process

RARPA stands for Recognising and Recording Progress and Achievement, a structured process to measure learner progress on non-accredited educational courses.

Are you planning to introduce RARPA? Do you or any of your staff require a refresh, or do you have new staff who need an introduction to RARPA?

This is an interactive online two session training course for curriculum managers and practitioners looking for a systematic way to plan provision for learners with SEND, monitor their progress and record their achievements. The training will benefit whole staff teams who are involved in RARPA.

The aims of this RARPA training are to:

• provide an understanding of the RARPA process
• identify effective implementation of the RARPA process in SEND FE provision
• understand why effective goal and target setting is so crucial to learner progress
