LLN Assessments
| Assessment Task 1: Knowledge Questions | This assessment task provides you with an opportunity to demonstrate your knowledge of the unit by answering open-book knowledge questions. The knowledge questions address your understanding to identify language, literacy and numeracy (LLN) requirements of training and the work environment. There are four sections of the questionnaire for you to complete. |
| Assessment Task 2: Case Studies | The case study assessment consists of five tasks, each identifying learners with LLN needs that you must be addressed. You will need to identify LLN needs and select the appropriate instructional and assessment strategies that address the identified LLN needs. You will work with an LLN specialist to customise learning resources and delivery. |
| Assessment Task 3: Address LLN in Vocational training delivery | This task aims to help you consolidate and apply what you have learned in this program to your training and assessment practice. Therefore, you will select a vocational training topic relevant to your industry or area of expertise and provide evidence of delivering one or more training sessions to a learner group in which you select and use strategies that address identified needs in one or two core skills—Learning, Reading, Writing, Oral Communication, Numeracy and/or Digital Literacy. |
Delivery Assessments
| Assessment Task 1: | This task requires you to plan, organise, deliver and review one 30-minute training session to a group of eight (8) or more learners. |
| Assessment Task 2: | This task requires you to plan, organise, deliver and review two (2) consecutive sessions from a learning program to a group of eight (8) or more learners. |
| Assessment Task 3: | This task requires you to plan, organise, facilitate and review learning in the workplace for one learner |
| Assessment Task 4: | This task requires you to plan, organise, facilitate and review learning in the workplace for one learner |
| Assessment Task 5: | This task requires you to demonstrate your knowledge of the unit by answering open-book knowledge questions. The knowledge questions address your understanding of the unit. |
