A+ Pre-accreditation Maths and Literacy for Nursing
Author(s): Andrew Spencer
Pre-apprenticeship (or Pre-accreditation) Maths and Literacy helps to prepare students seeking to gain a variety of apprenticeships and traineeships. These write-in workbooks combine practical, real-world scenarios and terminology specifically relevant to their chosen industry, and provide students with the mathematical and literacy skills they need to confidently pursue a career within that trade. Mirroring the format of current apprenticeship entry assessments, Pre-accreditation Maths and Literacy for Nursing includes hundreds of questions to increase students' eligibility to obtain an apprenticeship or traineeship. It also supports and consolidates concepts that students studying VET (Vocational Educational Training) may use. Pre-accreditation Maths and Literacy for Nursing further supports and consolidates concepts that students studying VET (Vocational Educational Training) may use, as a number of VCE VET programs are also approved pre-apprenticeships and pre-accreditations. This workbook is also a valuable resource for older students aiming to revisit basic literacy and maths in their preparation to re-enter the workforce at the vocational level. *The cover shown includes updated branding and may be different to the book available for purchase.
