Enrolment is a conversation before it is a form. We would rather spend twenty minutes working out whether a course is right for you than enrol you into the wrong one.
The five steps
- Enquire. Tell us what you are interested in. We will talk through the course, the fees, the intake dates and what the work is actually like.
- Check your readiness. You complete a short language, literacy, numeracy and digital (LLND) assessment and create your Unique Student Identifier. Neither is a hurdle — see below.
- Interview. An admissions consultant confirms you meet the entry requirements and that the delivery pattern suits your circumstances.
- Offer and acceptance. Successful applicants receive a written offer, subject to places being available in the intake. Accepting it triggers your invoice.
- Confirmation. Once the enrolment fee is received we confirm your place and send your orientation details.
Three things to get ready
A Unique Student Identifier (USI)
Every student in nationally recognised training needs a USI. It is a free number that links all your training records together, and by law we cannot issue your certificate without it. Creating one takes about five minutes at usi.gov.au — you will need a form of ID such as a driver licence, Medicare card or passport.
The LLND assessment
This is a short online assessment of language, literacy, numeracy and digital skills. It is not a pass or fail test and it is not there to keep you out. It tells us whether the course is pitched right for you and what support to put in place from day one. Plenty of students need some support; very few are turned away because of it.
Screening checks, if your course includes placement
Care-sector placements require background checks — typically a National Police Check, an NDIS Worker Screening Check and a Working with Children Check, plus certain immunisations. Start these early: they routinely take longer than students expect and they can hold up your placement. See Work Placement for the detail.
Before you accept an offer
You will be given the Student Handbook before you enrol. Read it. It sets out your rights and obligations, the fees and refund arrangements, how assessment works, the support available and how to complain if something goes wrong. You can download it from Our Resources.
