(2) ACTCS do not record this data in a format that is easily extracted.
(3) During AMC education induction, detainees are assessed against the nationally recognised Australian Core Skills Framework (ACSF) which assesses against the five cores skills of Learning, Reading, Writing, Oral communication and Numeracy, at five levels of performance ACSF 1 to ACSF 5, and across 3 domains of communication.
Approximately 60 per cent of detainees at the AMC assess at an average ACSF level 2, indicating that they would encounter difficulties completing Australian Skills Quality Authority Certificate levels III and above. Accordingly the majority of training courses provided at the AMC are at Certificate level II.
Detainees assessing at ACSF levels 1-2 (43.4 per cent of male and 46 per cent of female detainees on 12 June 2018) are enrolled into Foundation Skills Certificate 1 courses while detainees assessing at ACSF 2 and above (48.4 per cent of male and 54 per cent of female detainees on 12 June 2018) are enrolled in Foundation Skills Certificate II.
Detainees enrolling in Vocational Education Training (VET) qualification units at Certificate II level generally require core skills at ACSF level 2 and above.
If individuals assess at less than ACSF level 2, but wish to enrol in certificate II VET units they are supported to complete a Foundation Skills qualification at Certificate I level.
(4) While the combined number of detainees assessed at ACSF level 2 and below is similar, the number of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander detainees assessing at ACSF 1 level within that group is higher, approximately 60 per cent compared to 40 per cent for non-indigenous.
Data in table 1 to provides an indication of where detainees are completing foundation skills units in June 2018 as a result of ACSF assessment.
