Language, literacy and numeracy skills are important in everyday life –that’s why we offer help in this area ahead of your studies!
If you do not have a Year 12 achievement certificate, or evidence of successful completion of an Australian Qualifications Framework Certificate IV or higher qualification (where the language of instruction is English) you may be required to complete a Language, Literacy and Numeracy (LLN) test before enrolling into our Certificate and Diploma courses.
Reading and numeracy assessments are taken on a government approved tool.
If you would like to access a VET Student Loan, Government regulation requires you to achieve an Exit Level 3 in the Australian Core Skills Framework in Reading and Numeracy. If you need extra help, we offer a variety of resources that will help you throughout your learning experience at TrainSmart Australia.
Fully committed to your success, our Department of Language, Literacy and Numeracy strives to ensure that student support needs are met. As such, we have an LLN specialist who can meet with you or chat over the phone to discuss ways of improving your learning, literacy and numeracy standards.
If you need extra help because of other learning disabilities or genuine impairments, such as deafness or dyslexia, please don’t hesitate to let us know – we will do our best to make arrangements to deliver your training more effectively.
All language, literacy and numeracy support come at no additional fee to the applicants and students, and all assessments are carried out online in the comfort of your own home. If you are aged under 18, we will need your parents to approve your decision to study. Additionally, our career guidance service is free and open to all, whatever your age.
