Domestic and International students

• Applicants must be 18 years of age or older at the time of making an application for admission, and should have successfully completed Year 12 or an equivalent Australian senior secondary school qualification.
• All students participate in a Pre-Training Review before enrolment, which identifies any previous training undertaken and its relevance to this qualification, and confirms the basic computing skills needed to support computer-based classroom learning. The Pre-Training Review also determines eligibility to undertake any portion of the qualification through a recognition of prior learning pathway.
• All students complete a Language, Literacy and Numeracy (LLN) assessment during the enrolment process, which is used to identify any reasonable adjustments needed to learning and assessment. Where an adequate level is not demonstrated, the student is referred to an external provider for additional study (at the learner's own cost) and must re-sit the LLN assessment before being accepted into the qualification.
