The assessment of the progress of clients is a matter for the vocational education committee providing the programme. An assessment framework for the adult literacy service has recently been developed in order to bring national consistency and objective standards into the initial diagnosis of learner's starting points and subsequent progress. This framework is in operation in a number of counties, including Mayo.
