New College Lanarkshire

DYW Live Certificated Courses increase equity by allowing learners to study subjects or to access other types of certificated courses, which are not available at their local school. Courses are delivered online via remote lectures.  They function in a similar way to sending learners to a local college to complete courses, except that the learner remains in school.

Description:
The NPA provides candidates with a fundamental knowledge of Scots Law and its application. It is intended to prepare candidates for progression into Law related courses in both further and higher education. The aims of the course are to develop knowledge and understanding of the role of law, provide the opportunity to develop relevant essential skills for legal related occupations and further study and enhance career prospects across a wide range of employment sectors.

We are thrilled to be able to offer this course provided by New College Lanarkshire (NYC), via DYW Live, and delivered directly learners in school via Teams Glow.  

If you register an interest for this course, on behalf of a learner/multiple learners, you will be invited to an MS Teams meeting, to discuss the logistics of the course delivery with our NCL partners. 

DYW Live certificated courses do not require a teacher to be present and participate in each lesson. Instead learners are added to an online Team to enable them to join each on-line lesson remotely. 

The time of the delivery of the course will be agreed on a first come first served basis. Additional learners (within capacity) are welcome join later, if the timings work for them.  

 Requirements for the learner: 

• The learner is required to enrol in the college. Learners will be sent a link to complete their enrolment. 
• This course has the same tariff value as a Higher (SCQF 6) course and so requires three periods per week available in their timetable over the course of a year. 
• Each learner requires access to an individual device with a working webcam and a headset with microphone to enable their full participation with the online class. 
• Each learner requires a quiet, distraction free location where they can participate in the class lessons. 
• The learner needs to have a positive attitude towards learning online and be willing to actively engage in the remote delivery. 
• Learners require a Nat 5 in at least one of the following subjects: English/History/Modern Studies/ RMPS.

Requirements for the school: 

• It is strongly recommended learners complete their enrolment with a teacher present in the room to support any difficulties they may have. 
• Each school must identify a key teacher contact for their learner(s), who will be added to the Class Team. This is to enable them to have an oversight of their learner(s) progress and to facilitate any in-school support which may be required. 
• A suitable location will need to be identified within the school, to enable learners to complete the SQA course assessments. In addition, an invigilator/teacher will be required to be present while assessments/exams are carried out. (There will also be remote invigilation from the college for certain assessments.)
• This course has a variety of assessment options including Closed Book and Partial- Closed Book (with basic notes) alongside some research items.

DYW Context:
This course can be a stepping-stone qualification which demonstrates an aptitude or interest in law. It provides a broad range of skills useful for a law based working environment.
