Application

This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to participate in highly familiar spoken exchanges, such as providing personal details, asking simple questions, following one step instructions, or requesting everyday items.

An individual performing these tasks operates alongside an expert or mentor where significant support, prompting, advice and modelling can be provided.

This unit applies to individuals who use, or are preparing to use, oral communication skills to complete workplace activities. This includes existing workers and individuals preparing for employment through vocational education and training. This unit can be integrated and contextualised with vocational training to support achievement of vocational competency.

This unit is aligned to, but does not fully address, the Australian Core Skills Framework (ACSF) oral communication core skill indicators .07 and .08 at pre-level 1 in the workplace and employment domain of communication.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
