LLN – Language, Literacy And Numeracy Requirements:

To satisfactorily complete this training with us, learners need to be able to understand, read and write basic English and be able to learn to complete mathematical calculations.

Learners are not expected to know the specific calculations that are used at basic rigging level before attending the course.

However, in order to learn the required calculations, learners will need to have a basic understanding of the following mathematical operations before the course – addition, subtraction, multiplication, division and square roots.

The calculations in the course have written questions and contain multiple steps and formulas. Calculators are supplied and used during training and assessment.

Learning Support:

While reading and writing basic English, and completing mathematical calculations is required, there are some adjustments that can be made if required.

For example, we can offer:

• Training material and assessments in larger print or on coloured paper (learners need to advise preferred colour prior to attending).

• Additional theory and/or practical training.

• Re-assessment opportunities following further training.

• Oral assessment

• Oral assessment may be offered only after a candidate has attempted the written assessment.
• All candidates who complete the theory assessment orally, are required to complete a supplementary assessment to demonstrate they are able to read, understand and write basic English.
• The supplementary assessment is similar to the examples given in LLN above and must be successfully completed by the candidate (on their own).
• An oral assessment may not be able to be conducted on the same day the written assessment is attempted, as it requires a trainer to conduct it one on one with the candidate.
• When a candidate successfully completes an oral assessment, they will then be required to successfully complete the practical assessment to be judged as competent
