Reading, Writing and Digital Literacy
The course is delivered in English and requires the answering of questions, filling in tables, writing up notes and minutes of meetings, and filling in registers and other templates. Reading and writing skills are required, and they do need to be at a satisfactory level, as there are a number of projects that require literacy skills.
There is also a requirement for students to use technology such as laptops or computers, as they need to type up documentation which looks business like and professional, just as they would if they were working in an organisation and employed in this role. The ability to access the Internet, research health and safety matters and transfer this information into written advice and reports is desirable, however not a requirement to pass this course.
