5 Content of the FSK Foundation Skills Training Package Units of competency have been organized into six skill groups: learning (LRN), reading (RDG), writing (WTG), oral communication (OCM) numeracy (NUM) and digital technology (DIG). Units of competency in the FSK Training Package have been aligned against the ACSF across all levels from very basic (pre-level 1) to high level skills at Level 5. This alignment provides users of FSK with a detailed picture of the expected level of performance. Training package units of competency are not aligned to an AQF level. This is particularly important for the FSK units because they can be used to support the foundation skills development of learners undertaking vocational qualifications at any AQF level. Refer to Matrix FSK Foundation Skills Training Package is not designed as an ACSF assessment tool.
