Wodonga TAFE
10 months
This foundational course helps students build essential literacy and numeracy skills for everyday life. Designed for those needing to develop reading, writing, and practical math abilities, it provides a pathway to further education and employment opportunities.
There are no formal prerequisites for this course. Students should be willing to engage in learning activities focused on functional literacy and numeracy. Basic materials such as notebooks, pens, pencils, and rulers are recommended. Information sessions can be individualised, and prospective students may attend a School Experience Day or Come and Try day to explore campus life.
The course covers four compulsory units: Read Simple Sentences (VU23869) - developing ability to read and make meaning of simple sentences in familiar contexts; Write Simple Sentences (VU23870) - writing simple sentences on familiar topics with basic punctuation; Work with Money (VU23880) - applying numeracy skills for money-related purposes; and Apply Numeracy Skills for Personal Purposes (VU24053) - using numeracy for time, measurements, directions, and everyday applications.
