What are Essential Skills domains and sub-domains?
The Essential Skills framework uses the term “domain” to identify broad Essential Skills areas such as Reading Text, Document Use and Numeracy. Some domains have sub-domains, which allows you to zero-in further on the relevant tasks. For example, Numeracy has five sub-domains: money math; scheduling, budgeting and accounting math; measurement and calculation math; data analysis math and numerical estimation. The other Essential Skills areas with sub-domains are Document Use, Computer Use and Thinking Skills. Reading Text, Oral Communication and Writing do not have sub-domains.
