Certificate I in Skills for Education and Training Pathways
Course Overview
Enhance your communication, language, literacy, and numeracy skills and gain increased confidence to enter the workforce or undertake further study.
Within Australia, many people do not possess the literacy and numeracy skills needed to participate fully in modern life and work. Facilitated by expert teaching staff who understand that each learner is different, you will be provided with the support and guidance you need to complete your studies.
To successfully prepare you for further study, this course will teach you how to apply your language, literacy, and numeracy and digital technology skills in a formal learning environment or work context.
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 2.
