The WPL and WPN series are built on a set of
language proficiency and numeracy proficiency levels. In total, there is eight levels showing
a continuum of skills from pre-beginning through proficient. The continuum is exemplified in the
skill level descriptors which provide descriptions which provide
descriptions of adults’ general job-related ability in reading,
listening, writing, speaking and numeracy. The skills level descriptors explain in
general terms what most learners would be able to accomplish at a
specified scale score in a specific skill area. All participants should
sit for an assessment test – CAT with the Centre for Employability
Studies so that they can be assessed at the correct level of proficiency and
placed in a suitable class.
