LLN support is available to provide students with advice and support services in the provision of language, literacy, and numeracy services. Student’s needing assistance with their learning should be identified upon enrolment.
Trainers and staff within Trainix can provide students with support to assist the student throughout the learning process.

Language, Literacy and Numeracy skills are generally included and identified in Training Products and accredited course programs. In identifying language, literacy and numeracy requirements, students are required to have demonstrate the following:

Language/Literacy in the Workplace:

A moderate level of English understanding is required to enrol into the LF or LO course. As a HRW licence holder, you will need to be able to communicate verbally, in English, with co-workers, supervisors, managers, truck drivers and customers.  

You will also need to have the language skills to read and understand the following:

• Workplace Policies & Procedures
• Hazard Signs
• Checklists
• Work Orders
• Consignment Notes (and other transport documents such as manifests and invoices)
• Forklift and/or Order Picker Data Plates & Warning Labels
• Forklift and/or Order Picker Operator Manuals

Numeracy in the Workplace:

You will need to be able to assess the loads that you are lifting. Sometimes this may require you to calculate the weight of a load. You may also need to conduct stocktake (counting stock) and pick or pack orders that will also require counting. 

LLN Procedure

• Prior to course commencement, we send a link to an online LLN quiz/enrolment form that will help us determine whether a student is or isn’t eligible to enrol or requires assistance (verbal test, AMES etc.)
• Once we have received a successful LLN response, the student can proceed with the course. If a student is unsuccessful and requires assistance or additional support, we suggest AMES (English classes) to be attended before booking a course.
• If a student passes the LLN successfully but still has concerns with writing, we can offer a verbal assessment at no additional charge.
• If after a successful LLN result but the student is found to be having difficulty during the course, additional time will be organised for study before attempting the National Assessment.
• A full refund will only be offered if it is determined by the RTO that a student’s LLN skills are too poor to continue. This would be due to inability to communicate and understand trainer’s instruction or if a student cannot read/understand the information in the Study Material/Workbook.
• Admin will organise course commencement once LLN skills have been deemed successful.

Prior to conducting a licensing course at your site, we will arrange an inspection to ensure the following WorkSafe assessment requirements are met:

• There must be at least 400 square metres of warehouse space for practical training.

• The forklift/order picker needs to be in good condition and compliant with Australian standards (service history, logbooks up to date).

• We need to be able to lift and place varied loads from low (ground level), medium and high levels (3m+ – preferably racking)

• There needs to be a mixture of dynamic (moving liquid i.e. IBC or drums) and non-dynamic loads (pallets of stock, cartons, etc.) available that weigh a minimum of 250kg (forklift course requirement only). A dynamic load can be arranged by Trainix per request if there isn’t one onsite.

• Staff members will need to be able to access and locate site traffic management plans/policies and procedures.

• Boardroom/classroom or similar for the group theory sessions (we can provide a projector if required).

• Hazard controls to ensure training area is secured (barricades, signs etc.)

If you’re unsure about any of these requirements, please contact to discuss further. If your site isn’t suitable, we can make alternative arrangements for the training at our facility.

PLEASE NOTE: These site requirements are only applicable for conducting a licensing course onsite. Any other non-accredited training can be provided without these requirements met.
