See Condition: Organisation eligibility for tertiary education organisation (TEO) eligibility requirements. See the following conditions for programme eligibility requirements. For tutor qualification requirements (Condition: Programme eligibility), refer to our literacy and numeracy capability information, including national literacy and numeracy qualifications for educators. Tuition must be delivered to each learner face-to-face. Community links must be evident through relationships between TEOs and local business, industry, employers. TEOs that receive WLN funding should also demonstrate that they will: Note: ‘subcontracting’ in Condition: Subcontracting refers to a situation in which a TEO uses WLN TEO-led funding to pay another TEO to deliver teaching and/or assessment on its behalf. It excludes teaching and learning activities contracted to individuals or organisations that are not TEOs (for example, an employee on a fixed-term contract, an honorary staff member, or a contract for teaching and learning services with a subject-matter expert for part of the programme). Hours of delivery The total hours of literacy, numeracy, or literacy and numeracy tuition received by each learner enrolled in a WLN TEO-led programme with a TEO is expected to be between 25 and 80 hours, with some exceptions. For example, some learners may: We expect these learner numbers to be few when compared to the TEO’s total WLN TEO-led learner count. Intensity of delivery The intensity of literacy, numeracy, or literacy and numeracy, tuition received by each learner enrolled in a WLN TEO-led programme with a TEO must be 40 hours over any 10 to 40 week period (or portion of the period). Alongside that programme duration the delivery model is as agreed among the employer, employee and the TEO delivering the programme. The reason for this approach (rather than a range of hours per week) is to provide flexibility for TEOs to ensure the delivery model meets both employer and employee needs. Delivery could, for example, be weekly, or it could be in blocks with breaks of several weeks between. Example: Calculating time period for delivery for a 25 hour WLN TEO-led programme: 25 hours/40 hours = 0.625 (proportion) 0.625 x 10 weeks = 6.25 weeks (shortest 25 hour programme duration) 0.625 x 40 weeks = 25 weeks (longest 25 hour programme duration) The 25 hour programme must be delivered over at least 6.25 weeks (rounded up to the nearest whole day) and over no more than 25 weeks.TEO eligibility
