Learning Outcomes and Application This unit describes the skills and knowledge to collect, organise, illustrate, summarise and interpret a range of statistical data for work.This unit applies to individuals who need numeracy skills at Australian Core Skills Framework (ACSF) level 4 to undertake a vocational training pathway or workplace tasks.This unit is designed for integration and contextualisation with vocational units to support achievement of vocational competency.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

Assessment texts and tasks reflect those typically found in the workplace.
