Application
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to participate in a limited range of familiar spoken interactions in the workplace, such as talking with co-workers, participating in workplace meetings, giving and responding to simple instructions, receiving and passing on simple messages, making an inquiry, or reporting a problem.
An individual performing these tasks may work with an expert or mentor where support is available if requested.
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 should 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 2 in the workplace and employment domain of communication.
No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
