Course Summary

This product has been designed specifically to deliver within the Skills for Education and Employment (SEE) and the Adult Migrant English Program (AMEP) with the advantage of meeting a broad range of industry, community services and education sector stakeholders. Existing training packages currently being offered by other RTOs are unable to meet the learning needs of learners whose communication and numeracy skills represent barriers to them engaging in learning but this package has been developed to meet these. This qualification is intended to further develop and provide participants with opportunities to practise communication and/or numeracy skills which will enable progression to a meaningful learning pathway. It is based on learner interests, needs and aspirations across different aspects of life - personal, community, work, and training or education. The elective units are selected on the basis of learner need and the learner ACSF level established in the pre-training assessment. Learners who achieve competency in any unit, but do not complete the course, will be awarded a Statement of Attainment.
