LL&N INFO AND SUPPORT

At the time of enrolment all students asked to determine their literacy level. Some students may be provided with an LL&N assessment prior to their enrolment. This will determine the level of literacy requirements to ensure the student’s successful completion. Students are also requested to advise their nominated Trainer/Facilitator if additional LL&N skills are required.

Some examples of the type of support that we can offer include:

Literacy

• Providing essential writing tasks.

• Considering the use of group exercises for assessments.

• Providing examples and models of completed tasks.

• Ensuring that documents and forms are written and formatted in plain English.

• Using clear headings, highlighting certain key words or phrases.

• Providing explanations of all technical terms used.

Language

• Presenting information in small chunks and speaking clearly, concisely and not too quickly.

• Giving clear instructions in a logical sequence.

• Giving lots of practical examples.

• Encouraging you to ask questions.

Numeracy

• There is very little numeracy required in the short courses offered
