Take the first step towards achieving your education, training and employment goals by developing the foundation skills you’ll need for future study.

This fee-free course will help you build your literacy, numeracy, communication and digital technology skills in preparation for a vocational pathway or further foundation skills training.

In this nationally accredited course, you will develop a learning plan and identify goals toward education, employment and/or personal growth, as well as plan and complete a project with support.

You’ll read and write about learning, employment and the community by analysing texts, thinking critically, forming sentences and paragraphs using correct punctuation, grammar and spelling, as well as build your confidence to work with numbers, money, metric measurement, design and shape, and simple statistics.

Throughout the course you will also learn to put ideas together, ask good questions and build your confidence when speaking in a range of situations, prepare a simple budget, and learn to operate a personal computer including customising your desktop and managing folders and files.

This course is delivered mixed-mode. To be successful in this course you will need to commit to 20 hours of learning per week, including 12 hours of face-to-face classes. The online activities will include discussions, quizzes to check your learning, research, tests and assessment.

On successful completion of this course you will have developed a broad range of valuable employability, learning and foundation skills at ACSF Level 2, which will give you the confidence to continue on to further vocational education or training at TasTAFE.

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’.

Recognition of prior learning and skills

It makes sense that you should be recognised for the things you already know how to do.

TasTAFE can assess your skills and knowledge based on your previous education, work history or life experience – which may help you to gain your qualification a whole lot faster!

More information on the recognition process is available on our recognition of prior learning and skills page.

Assessment methods

Assessments are designed to help you demonstrate the skills and knowledge you learn in your course and are an essential part of your training. Assessments allow us to confirm that you can perform tasks to the standard required in the workplace, and that you can meet all of the requirements of your course.

While studying at TasTAFE, you may be assessed in a number of different ways. Some common assessment methods include:

completing workplace documents
observations on the job and/or in a simulated assessment environment
quizzes/multiple choice tests
research projects
tests – written or practical
verbal questioning
work samples
written assignments or short answers.

What will I need to bring?

Make sure you are prepared for each class and bring standard items like pens, paper/notebook, USB etc.

Depending on your course, you might need access to a computer with Microsoft Software Suite and internet and a current email address. TasTAFE has computer labs at regional campuses which are open for students to access during normal business hours.

You may also need to bring specific equipment, tools or personal protective equipment.
