Learning - I can follow steps and try new things to learn how to handle unfamiliar situations.

Reading - I can read and understand everyday signs, short instructions, or simple written information.

Writing -I can write short notes or fill in basic forms when asked.

Oral - Communication I can speak clearly and listen carefully when talking with others in an emergency.

Numeracy -I can use simple numbers and timing to help me follow steps in the right order.

If the participant is unsure whether they meet this requirement, they should contact us at Gungahlia for a free assessment before enrolment.

Additional support services (such as LLN support) may be required at the individual's cost, depending on their needs.
