Pre-apprenticeship Maths and Literacy for Building & Carpentry is a write-in workbook that helps to prepare students seeking to gain a Building & Carpentry Apprenticeship. It combines practical, real-world scenarios and terminology specifically relevant to the Building & Carpentry Industry, and provides students with the mathematical skills they need to confidently pursue a career in the Building & Carpentry Trade.
Mirroring the format of current apprenticeship entry assessments, Pre-apprenticeship Maths and Literacy for Building & Carpentry includes hundreds of questions to improve students' potential of gaining a successful assessment outcome of 75-80% and above. This workbook will therefore help to increase students' eligibility to obtain a Building & Carpentry Apprenticeship.
Pre-apprenticeship Maths and Literacy for Building & Carpentry supports and consolidates concepts that students studying VET (Vocational Educational Training) may use, as a number of VCE VET programs are also approved pre-apprenticeships. This workbook is also a valuable resource for older students aiming to revisit basic literacy and maths in their preparation to re-enter the workforce at the apprenticeship level.
Features:
- Graduated difficulty - the book is divided into units that gradually increase in length, content and difficulty. For use throughout the course, not just before the actual assessment.

- Real-life scenarios and terminology - help motivate students and make the content specifically relevant to the students' chosen trade.
- Comprehensive practice questions - includes hundreds of questions.
- Bonus detachable test included - produced on perforated paper, it allows for easy tear-out and can be used as formal assessment tasks.
- Great value - designed and priced to be used by each individual student.
- Calculator-free - these workbooks have been designed to mirror current apprenticeship entry assessments and encourage students to attempt all questions without using a calculator.
