What are Foundation Skills in Unit of Competency for Trainers and Assessors?

All trainers and assessors should understand foundation skills in a unit of competency (UoC). This training session describes how language, literacy, numeracy and employment skills can be incorporated into the performance criteria. The training session will cover four main topics as follows:

  • What are the differences in expectations between foundation skills in a UoC and those in general language and numeracy tests (e.g., IELTS, PTE and general LLN)?
  • What are the connections of foundation skills to elements and performance criteria in a UoC?
  • How can foundation skills be incorporated into training and assessment processes by trainers and assessors?
    • explicit and implicit foundation skills in the performance criteria
  • What, When and How can trainers and assessors can obtain foundation skill support (e.g., LLN) for a student who is in need?

We hope this training will help trainers and assessors gain more understanding of foundation skills in a UoC.
