Webinar: Focus Week: What do Foundation Skills mean to the general Trainer and Assessor

Recorded on 06/12/2019 and forming part of Velg Training's Focus Week on Foundation Skills, this webinar considered the implications of foundation skills for ”general” trainers and assessors rather than LLN specialists.

Topic Overview

This session considered the implications of foundation skills for 'general' trainers and assessors rather than LLN specialists. I'm not a specialist in Language, Literacy and Numeracy (LLN). I'm a general trainer/assessor working in my own industry. So what are foundation skills and what am I supposed to do with them?
