Language, Literacy and Numeracy (LLN)
  • In most cases, some minor LLN support can be provided by Abbey College Australia. However, we may arrange for the student to receive extra-curricula assistance from a trainer. Where more extensive support is needed the student will be referred onto a LLN specialist. This may attract a fee. Where an applicant's LLN deficiency will clearly inhibit achievement of learning outcomes and the applicant refuses LLN support, enrolment may be declined. If you feel you need advice about LLN, please contact us.
Assessment of Specials Skills (Language, Literacy and Numeracy - LNN)
Where a pre-requisite for training requires a particular level of language, literacy and/or numeric, or other entry skills, you are advised to contact your local TAFE College. Sydney Institute of TAFE provides assessment and assistance in language, literacy and numeracy – 9217 3103. Centrelink offers assistance to eligible job seekers through the Language, Literacy and Numeracy training program. For more information contact Centrelink Customer Relations – 1800 050 004

Further Specialist Testing for Entry to Industry Requirements
Where there is essential Literacy and Numeracy requirements, requiring more specific testing, the applicant will be required to undertake a further assessment of skills and an appointment will be arranged, at a mutually agreeable time where possible. There are a number of testing programs, which are available for this more formal assessment of reading, writing and speaking skills. In some qualification fields there may be particular needs specified. These assessments will be arranged by Sydney College with the assessment being conducted by a specialist from an approved provider list, if there are no in-house specialists with Abbey College. (Where a fee is levied for this compulsory testing, the industry employer requiring the pre-entry assessment usually covers payment).
