A possible Unit Standards pathway to Literacy for some (see big blue button below 2024 onwards)
PRIOR to 2024, to gain their Level 1 Literacy via Unit Standards, students must achieve all 3 of the Unit Standards you see in the plan below (26622, 26624 and 26625). Together, they are worth the 10 credits required for Level 1 Literacy. Please click the blue button below to see changes from 2024!
Click the buttons below for instant, editable downloads of handy information.
The grid below allows you to create your programme in a heartbeat! Each of the 3 critical standards requires 3 tasks to be completed. It's all organised for you here! Happy days!
