Adult literacy is becoming more noticeable in the media and maybe in your life as well. What is it about? How can you help?

This course is available to anyone in Australia.

Understanding Adult Tutoring is an online, non-accredited course that gives you a starting point. In about 20 hours of learning you will explore:

Adult learning and growth mindset
What is literacy?
Barriers and why
Reading and spelling
Numeracy, maths anxiety and maths literacy
Digital literacy and assistive technology
Learner-centred practices and planning

This is an independent course of study. You work through readings, videos, quizzes and learning activities at your own pace. You will have 90 days to complete the course. A workbook guides and supports your ideas, questions and “aha” moments as they arise.

At the end of the course, you will receive a TasTAFE Statement which recognises your learning.

To do well in this course, you will need to have sound digital literacy skills to work independently as well as language, literacy, numeracy and learning skills to a minimum of Australian Core Skills Framework Level 3.

When you finish this course, you may like to enrol in our nationally accredited skill set, Tutor Adult Literacy Learners (CHCSS00101 Language, Literacy and Numeracy Tutor Skill Set). See the TasTAFE website for details.

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.
