Description
This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to recognise the core language, literacy and numeracy (LLN) demands of training and assessment, and to tailor training and assessment to suit individual skill levels, including accessing relevant support resources.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1. Determine the core LLN requirements of the training
  • 1.1. Determine core LLN skill requirements of the training specification
  • 1.2. Determine core LLN requirements of the training context
  • 1.3. Use validated tools and other sources of information to determine existing core LLN skills of learners
2. Access specialist learning support
  • 2.1. Determine the need for specialist core LLN assistance for the learner, based on evidence collected
  • 2.2. Apply appropriate strategies for collaboration with specialist language, literacy and numeracy practitioners
3. Customise program to develop core LLN skills
  • 3.1. Select and customise or develop learning and assessment materials that are appropriate to core LLN skills of training specification, training context and learners
  • 3.2. Apply learning support strategies to assist learners to develop required core LLN skills
  • 3.3. Continuously monitor and evaluate approaches to determine areas for improvement

Overview of assessment
Assessment must address the scope of this unit and reflect all components of the unit. A range of appropriate assessment methods and evidence-gathering techniques must be used to determine competency. A judgement of competency should only be made when the assessor is confident that the required outcomes of the unit have been achieved and that consistent performance has been demonstrated.

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

Evidence of the ability to:

address core LLN issues in training and assessment practice on at least two different occasions

provide evidence that includes:

documentation setting out activities, resources and individual learning plans for a particular learner
third-party observations of the candidate with a range of learners
documentation of the use of the ACSF to determine LLN level.

Context of and specific resources for assessment
Evidence must be gathered in the workplace wherever possible. Where no workplace is available, a simulated workplace must be provided.

Assessment must ensure access to:

specialist LLN practitioners for consultation and verification of approaches
tools based on the ACSF levels
training package support materials.

Method of assessment
