Use language and communication in occupational learning programmes L4 US

The purpose of this unit standard is to facilitate learning and to ensure that learners are able to cope with learning in the context of learnerships, skills programmes, and other learning programmes. Many adult learners in the FET band have not been in a learning situation for a long time, and need learning and study strategies and skills to enable successful progression.

Learners competent at this level will be able to deal with learning materials, to access and use useful resources, to seek clarification and help when necessary, and apply a range of learning strategies. They do this with an understanding of the features and processes of the workplace and occupations to which their learning programmes refer.

Learners credited with this standard are able to:
Access, use and manage suitable learning resources
Formulate and use learning strategies
Manage occupational learning materials
Conduct research, analyse and present findings
Lead and function in a team
Reflect on how characteristics of the workplace and occupational context affect learning.
