What are the Essential Skills? (11:00)
This is an introduction to the Essential Skills.
List Structure (24:00)
Instructors that want to get the maximum Essential Skills results can take this lesson on List Structure. Documents are used daily in automotive businesses. List Structure is fundamental to the creation of all documents. Of course inside the automotive sector Document Use rates as the number one Essential Skill. Within List Structure we explore the 5 types of lists and concentrate on how various types of documents lead to confusion and misunderstandings among learners.
How do the Essential Skills relate? (Part One: 1:42, Part Two: 2:56, Part Three: 2:30, Part Four: 1:20)
The Essential Skills are directly related to tasks. Until a task is introduced, the Essential Skills lie dormant, and it is only once the task is present that you can evaluate the Essential Skills being applied. In this lesson the Essential Skills are illustrated through tasks.
Question Structure Segment (8:37)
Instructors need to ask questions to determine the success of their classes. In this lesson we examine various techniques in posing questions and how they can relate to the “complexity levels”. This lesson should be taken after the lesson on “Understanding Complexity Levels”.
Understanding Complexity Levels (Task One 3:00, Task Two :43, Task Three :39, Task Four 1:39, Summary 12:15)
Most Essential Skills have a “complexity level” associated with them, depending upon how the Essential Skill is applied to the work environment and the degree of difficulty of the task.
