(TAELLN411) Address Adult Language, Literacy and Numeracy Skills

What will you learn in the TAELLN411 unit?

The TAELLN411 unit addresses the skills and knowledge a vocational trainer or assessor needs to identify and support the language, literacy and numeracy skill requirements of a learner group in a training or work environment.

This unit will use a mixture of practical and knowledge based assessments to establish competence in abilities such as:

• Identifying the LLN requirements of learner groups
• Customising learning resources to address LLN requirements
• Selecting, using and reviewing assessment strategies for identified LLN needs of learner groups
• Explaining techniques for evaluating your own training and assessment practice

Recognition of Prior Learning

We understand that many professional trainers will have already developed LLN tools, resources and processes that can be used as evidence of competence in the TAELLN411 unit. RPL is available for any learner who can provide documented evidence of competence through previous training (formal or informal), or previous life or work experience.

The RPL process is really straightforward, simply indicate on your enrolment form that you would like to apply for RPL and once your enrolment is confirmed, you will receive an RPL kit to help with evidence collection.  Your trainer will also call to go through any potential RPL opportunities you may have. Simple!

Inspire works with a range of reputable parties to market and recruit for national qualification and courses. Students of Inspire Education may be recruited by other parties under specific arrangements.
