USE THIS FORM TO SUBMIT YOUR SKILLS IN LANGUAGE, LITERACY AND NUMERACY TO YOUR EDUCATOR.

This quiz is a general example of some of the key learning standards required of students entering a qualification with us.

Every workplace task involves using the skills of speaking, listening, reading, or writing and often mathematical skills as well - in other words, language, literacy, and numeracy (LLN). The LLN skills are not separate skills: they are integrated within other skills required to complete a work task.

Note: This is not an assessment or test. It is a skill check to indicate your skills in relation to your chosen qualification. It will help to identify your strengths and any possible skill gaps you may have. Your Educator will use this tool to assist in developing your training plan.

Please complete every question listed - even if you do not know the answer.

“One in 12, or over 650,000 people in Australia suffer a work-related illness or injury every year. As a result, at least 170,000 people are absent from work for five or more days. Over 2,700 Australians are killed each year as a result of work-related accidents and incidents – that is, more than seven people killed every work day. Five hundred of these deaths occur as a result of traumatic workplace accidents, and an estimated 2,200 deaths as a result of industrial diseases.

The total cost of an accident is difficult to measure precisely but will include such things as, medical costs; worker’s compensation costs, damage to buildings, equipment and machinery; delays and interruptions to products and services; effects on staff morale, time spent investigating an accident and damage to public and industrial relations.

These costs are in order of $20billion per year. Employers wear approximately 40% of this cost, those injured bear 30% and the general community bears 30%."
