A significant proportion of Australian adults have language, literacy, numeracy or digital skills below the level assumed by the training they enrol in. Most of them are competent at their jobs. Some are highly skilled tradespeople who cannot comfortably read the assessment describing what they do every day.
When those learners fail, the paperwork usually records a competency judgement. What actually happened is that the assessment tested reading.
How this module works Read the content straight through. It takes most people around an hour. Then complete the quiz at the end. You need 80% to pass, and your certificate appears on screen immediately. The quiz is open book, there is no time limit, and you can reattempt as many times as you need.
Currency statement This module reflects the Outcome Standards for RTOs Instrument 2025 (F2025L00354), in force since 1 July 2025, and the Australian Core Skills Framework published by the Department of Employment and Workplace Relations. The 2025 Standards added digital literacy to the pre-enrolment review obligation at Standard 2.2, which is the single most commonly missed change in this area.
