The Literacy and Numeracy for Adults Assessment Tool (LNAAT) supports educators to identify learners’ literacy and numeracy skills and challenges.

Providers who deliver adult literacy and numeracy should be familiar with the learning progressions.

These Guidelines provide information on the benefits and context of the LNAAT, assessment options and types in the LNAAT and our expectations for the LNAAT usage by fund.
