Application
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to analyse, evaluate and respond to a range of complex workplace texts in printed or digital formats, such as work and organisational plans, training needs analyses, reports, manuals, standard operating procedures, product reviews and flow charts.
An individual performing these tasks works independently and uses support from a range of established resources.
This unit applies to individuals who use, or are preparing to use, reading 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) reading core skill indicators .03 and .04 at level 4 in the workplace and employment domain of communication.
No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
