Certificate III and IV

Read and interpret texts that have several ideas which are non-routine, but easy to understand. For example, read workplace newsletters or read an agenda for a meeting.

Produce and sequence several paragraphs to express a meaningful idea. For example, fill in an incident report form or write a set of procedures for a new work task to be used as reference.

Use operations and % and fractions to solve problems. For example, calculate and compare costs of similar items/services from two different sources or measure items for work tasks using formal units (millilitres. of hair dye, grams of flour etc).

Participate in verbal exchanges where listener/speaker is required to vary and/or understand concepts which are simple, but non-routine. For example, provide instructions for a new worker on how to perform a simple workplace task. Or listen to, and respond to a routine customer complaint.

Diploma

Read and understand texts with some complex ideas and non-routine vocabulary. For example, read a workplace report recommending a change or read a memo providing new instructions on workplace health and safety.

Write texts which convey ideas beyond everyday concepts. For example, write the minutes for a workplace meeting or write a memo to colleagues to inform them of a temporary change to the workplace routine.

Use a range of algebraic formulae and calculating tools to solve work based problems. For example, apply formulae to measure heights, 2- and 3- dimensional spaces or use memory/square root functions on calculator to solve multi-step problems.

Participate in verbal exchanges that require control of non-routine language and structures. For example, deliver a presentation about a new workplace practice to a group of colleagues or listen to a complicated customer complaint, and be able to summarise the customer’s concerns.
