Course overview
Further develop your language and literacy skills in a supportive and welcoming environment.
Within Australia, many people do not possess the literacy and numeracy skills needed to participate fully in modern life and work. Building on your basic skills in communication and numeracy, you will undertake your studies facilitated by expert teaching, who will provide you with the guidance and support you need to successfully complete your studies.
This course will improve your confidence and further develop your skills in speaking, listening, reading, writing, grammar and numeracy.
Upon successful completion of this course you will have developed reading, writing, numeracy, oral communication and learning skills at Australian Core Skills Framework (ACSF) Level 1.
At TAFE Queensland we believe in providing quality pathways to further education opportunities. We can work with you to develop a personalised learning program to develop your skills in language, literacy and numeracy.
At TAFE Queensland we provide training to people who are under-utilised in the labour market, by building the skills of young people, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, people with disability, mature-age job seekers, women re-entering the workforce, and people from culturally and linguistically diverse background.
