Initial Literacy and Numeracy skill set

This FREE foundation skill set is designed for students who are preparing to enter a Certificate 1 level course and/or students who want to review basic literacy, numeracy and communication skills. This course will help you develop the foundation skills and knowledge you need to begin to confidently speak, read and write and use everyday maths.

You can enrol in this course at any time throughout the year. Your teacher will work with you closely and determine when you are ready to undertake your assessments to move into a more challenging course of study. Assessment will be at different times for different people.

If you are looking to get started at TasTAFE and need your skills and confidence to increase before moving into a Certificate I or vocational course, this is the place to be.

Entry Fees, payments and other costs

Your tuition fees cover the basic materials needed for your course, but may not cover items such as text books, workbooks, uniform, online learning resources or personal protective clothing. Depending on your course, there may also be other expenses that you need to budget for.

For courses undertaken in 12 months or less, you will be invoiced the full course fee (including any other essential fees associated with your course).

*For courses studied over multiple years, your course and other fees will be split over the years of study, with the concession fee being charged on a yearly basis. At the time of enrolment you will be invoiced for the first year’s fees. An invoice will be raised in each subsequent year around the same time as your ‘enrolment anniversary’.
