TAE40116 Certificate IV in Training: LLN Skills Assessment Booklet

This document is a learner assessment booklet for the TAELLN411 unit, which is part of the TAE40116 Certificate IV in Training and Assessment. It outlines the assessment process, including formative and summative assessments, and provides instructions for learners. The booklet includes various practical activities and written questions designed to assess a learner's understanding of adult language, literacy, and numeracy (LLN) skills. The activities cover a range of topics, such as identifying the five ACSF LLN skills, comparing LLN skill profiles, determining LLN skill levels required for different roles, selecting trigger words, and identifying methods for determining a learner's LLN skills. The document also presents a scenario involving a job applicant and requires an analysis of their LLN skills based on a self-assessment checklist. The assessment emphasizes the importance of addressing LLN needs in various contexts and provides resources for support. The document is designed to evaluate a learner's ability to conceptualize, design, develop, and review learning programs to meet identified needs, and it includes detailed instructions, requirements, and assessment criteria for each task.

Every role demands different skills on a higher rating. As on the front office manager it is very
important to have extra amount of communication skills so that they can attend the visitors. An
office manager would require writing and numeracy skills more where as an accountant will only
require numeracy skills the maximum level. ☐
