Application

This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to interact with others in short and simple spoken exchanges at work, which have an explicit purpose, involve a familiar context and require the use of highly familiar vocabulary. For example, following simple instructions, asking or responding to simple questions, engaging in informal exchanges with colleagues, leaving a short telephone message, or describing a routine task.

An individual performing these tasks operates alongside an expert or mentor where prompting and advice 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 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.
