TWO Basic Skills Awareness training days take place at the Ockment Centre, Okehampton, next week.
The three-hour basic skills awareness training is aimed at anybody working with the public, particularly those working in education and social and public services. It takes place next Monday, April 28, between 12.30pm and 3.30pm and next Wednesday, April 30, between 6pm and 9pm.
The course will help people understand the issues around basic skills needs and how to make publicity, handouts or forms more readable.
Okehampton College also runs courses offering help for people with worries about literacy, numeracy and other basic skills. Hilary Bussell, the new basic skills co-ordinator at the college, said she was also looking for more tutors to help with basic skills learning.
