Cognassist resources

Cognassist helps to identify hidden learning needs, personalise support and transform attainment.

 

We’re on a mission to help every learner reach their full potential through cognitive assessment.

 

We all think and learn differently and your learning experience can be personalised to your way of thinking. Our understanding of the human brain tells us that our cognitive abilities don’t exist on one scale of intelligence. We all have our own strengths and areas we find more challenging.

 

Variation in cognition is a good thing. We don’t want a world full of people who think the same and with this knowledge, you can work with your tutors to get the most out of your learning experience, gain powerful decision-making skills and get the outcomes you want.

What is Cognassist?

  • Cognassist helps to identify hidden learning needs, personalise support and transform attainment.
  • Working with Cognassist, Hart is on a mission to help every learner reach their full potential through cognitive assessment.
  • A cognitive assessment provides insight into how your brain works. It’s a chance to learn something about yourself and the way you experience the world.
  • The approx. 30-minute computer-based assessment will measure your functioning in the 8 below cognitive domains.

 

When and why will I be asked to complete a Cognassist assement?

  • The assessment will take place after you have enrolled but in your first month of learning.
  • After completing the assessment, we can determine in which of the 6 areas you function at a high level and in which you may function below the average level.
  • Knowing this information will help your Tutor and Functional Skills Tutor to support and work with you in a way that best suits you and allows you to meet your full potential.

What might the assessment outcome mean for me and my apprenticeship?

  • The outcome of the assessment will NOT impact your place on the apprenticeship.
  • If you ‘match’ for any of the 8 cognitive areas, you will be given the option to work through some learning activities that will help you build strategies to work more effectively in your academic studies, with support from your Tutor. This will also support your effectiveness in the workplace.
  • If you do not match, we will provide you with the outcome of your assessment and feedback on the assessment. There will be no need to further engage with the Cognassist platform beyond this.

"Doing the neurodiversity test helped me recognise my weakness and my tutor explained what it all means in a way that is easy to understand."
