About this qualification

FSK10119 is “designed for individuals who require significant foundation skills support to access a vocational learning pathway”.

Reading, writing, oral communication, learning and numeracy pitched primarily at Australian Core Skills Framework Level 1, plus entry-level digital technology and employability skills. It is the lowest rung in the Foundation Skills package and the starting point for the ladder above it.

Eleven units, of which one is core: FSKLRG004 Use short and simple strategies for work-related learning. The elective rules do the structuring — up to 4 from Group A, at least 5 from Group B, and 1 from a training package other than FSK.

Note the register’s own caveat, repeated across all Foundation Skills qualifications: they may not be listed as an entry requirement for vocational qualifications. Nobody can demand one of you.

Frequently asked questions

Are there entry requirements?
No. The register records entry requirements as “Nil”.
What is ACSF Level 1?
The Australian Core Skills Framework describes five levels of core skill. Level 1 is the most basic — short, simple, highly familiar tasks with direct support. FSK10219 sits at Level 2 and FSK20119 at Level 3.
Can a course require me to have this first?
No. The register states Foundation Skills Training Package qualifications may not be listed as an entry requirement for vocational qualifications.
Why must one unit come from outside FSK?
So every graduate gets genuine exposure to a real vocational area rather than staying entirely within foundation skills. That unit can often be credited later.
What comes next?
FSK10219 Certificate I in Skills for Vocational Pathways, then FSK20119 Certificate II.
