Language literacy and numeracy support

Learners will be required to complete a Language, Literacy and Numeracy (LLN) assessment upon enrolment to determine their suitability for this course and to identify if additional and support is required. LLN needs of students will be taken into consideration in the delivery and assessment of this qualification. TIV uses the Australian Core Skills Framework to identify and describe an individual’s performance in any of the core skills (learning, reading, writing, oral communication, numeracy (at a point in time), so that training can be targeted to areas of need and an individual’s progress monitored over time.

This lets them see all their training results, from all their previous providers. A USI Number will stay with the student for life and must be recorded with any nationally recognised

VET course they undertake.

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is a process where skills and knowledge that you have gained through work and life experience and other unrecognised training can be formally recognised.

TIV has a process that has been structured to minimise the time and cost to applicants and provides a supportive approach to students wishing to take up this option.  You should ideally apply for RPL at the time of enrolment but you may also apply up to 2 weeks into your course.

During the entry process and interview stage TIV will discuss with you the process and options for RPL.  Suitability is often determined on how much experience you have in a certain area, your work history and previous training. If RPL is determined as a possibility for you, you will be provided with a kit that will guide you in working through each unit to determine relevant skills and experience and identify whether you would be able to provide the required evidence.

A trainer/assessor will be available to assist you throughout this process.

* As an international student you should note that where you are granted RPL this will reduce your course duration and you will be informed of this in writing.
