Certificate II in General Education for Adults

The Certificate II in General Education for Adults aims to enhance literacy skills by enabling learners to engage with and produce a variety of both familiar and unfamiliar complex text types.

The program also equips learners with the skills and knowledge necessary to conduct projects, investigate pathways, and develop, implement, and review learning plans. Furthermore, digital literacy skills are integrated throughout the course, ensuring that learners are well-prepared for the modern, digital world.

This course focuses on developing your literacy skills as you create and engage with a range of familiar and unfamiliar text types. You’ll learn to interpret and create a range of paper-based and web-based text types as you complete projects that are specifically tailored to your needs.
You’ll also learn how to apply knowledge of everyday information to a range of situations, giving you confidence to participate in your wider community.
