About this course

The Certificates in General Education for Adults (CGEA) address the education and training needs of adults who need to improve their literacy, basic maths and general education skills to access further study, employment or to participate in the community.
The Certificate II in General Education for Adults outcomes focus on the development of literacy skills to create and engage with a range of familiar and unfamiliar complex texts types. The focus is on interpreting and creating a range of structurally intricate paper based and web based text types which may include some specialisation and to apply knowledge of everyday and formal numeracy in a range of contexts. Outcomes also focus on the skills and knowledge to conduct a project and to investigate pathways and develop, implement and review a learning plan.

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.
Next steps might include finding employment in an area that interests you, or volunteering in your local community. It could also mean taking your study even further by completing a Certificate II in any study field that interests you.
Don’t worry, TAFE Gippsland will be here to support you through all of those choices when the time comes, because we understand they’re not always easy!
