The range of A+ National Pre-apprenticeship (or Pre-accreditation) Maths and Literacy write-in workbook resources help to prepare students seeking to gain a variety of apprenticeships, traineeships and accreditations. They combine practical, real-world scenarios and terminology specifically relevant to their chosen industry, and provide students with the mathematical and literacy skills they need to confidently pursue a career within that trade.
Pre- apprenticeship Maths and Literacy for Plastering & Rendering further 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 and pre-accreditations. 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 vocational level. Complimentary Nelson Net Resources are available for students.
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.
