The main purpose of foundational learning is to remove any barriers to learning and progress in occupational pathways and skills development.

• 'Foundational communication' describes the language skills, processes, knowledge, and practices needed in the language of instruction for occupational training, and in the language of formal usage in the workplace.

The purpose of this component is to enable individuals to deal confidently and successfully with the language of learning and teaching (LOLT) of formal occupational training:

- Oral skills
- Print-based learning
- Language of external assessments such as trade tests.
People who achieve this part qualification will be able to speak, listen, read, and write meaningfully and effectively in the language of instruction, so that they can progress further in their chosen occupational pathways and workplace contexts.
