Hi Emma,
Have recently joined
However, my feeling here is that the
entrance test is not a designated course (as it would not form pat of the HE
designated course itself) and therefore, would not attract LEA DSA funding. Check
with the LEA by all means but I’m sure they won’t assist with DSA
funding. It may also be worth checking with the prospective students FE College
to see if they could assist.
Hope this may help.
Regards
Phil Tull

Subject: Support with an entrance
test
Dear all
Has anyone had experience of providing support (in this
case, in the form of a reader as the student is visually impaired) for a
student wanting to enter higher education who needs to prepare and sit an English
Language test (either the IELTS or the Cambridge Proficiency Test)?
Does the DSA stretch to cover these costs? Or have institutions met
these costs in the past? It’s more the preparation that is the key
here, the test itself can be sorted out hopefully.
Any previous experience would be really useful.
Emma
