This unit of competency first released with TAE Training and Education Training Package Version 1.0. |
Application
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to devise and provide adult language, literacy and numeracy (LLN) support services in a training organisation. It applies to those who devise a range of strategies to develop adult language, literacy and numeracy skills in learners enrolled in vocational education and training (VET) in a training organisation where the vocational course is the major focus.
Individuals in this role work collaboratively with a team of VET colleagues and contribute educational leadership in developing adult language, literacy and numeracy skills within the context of vocational courses. They may work alongside VET colleagues by directly teaching individuals and small groups, developing resources and support materials, and designing and delivering self-access materials. This requires them to apply knowledge of the terminology, language styles, writing conventions, and underpinning skill and knowledge requirements of the technical areas in which the support services are offered, as well as of the wider VET environment.
No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
