This manual has been designed to assist applicants in preparing for the literacy component associated with most general ability tests used by organisations such as: –

Australian State Police Services

Fire and Rescue Services

Ambulance Service

Defence Forces

Government Departments

Mining and Resources

High Schools

TAFE

 

 

Organisations seeking the most competitive applicants use a variety of testing to select the most suitable people for the job; part of that testing typically involves aptitude testing relating to, among other things, literacy and vocabulary skills. The English language topics presented in this book are by no means an exhaustive list, but they will help you get through most general aptitude tests.

Paragon Corporate Training's Emergency Services' Preparatory Course has been developed to help you become super competitive in all aspects of general ability testing relating to the various emergency services throughout Australia. This program will:
– Bridge the gap between your existing knowledge and skills; and the skills and knowledge required to meet the selection criteria for the police, ambulance, prison and fire and rescue services.
– Allow graduates to perform to their full potential and therefore reflect a sound and competitive aptitude for learning.
– Focus on long term retention and competent application of knowledge and skills in a workplace context.
