Language, Literacy, Numeracy, and Digital skills (LLND)​

Prior to enrolment, all prospective students are required to complete a compulsory Language, Literacy, Numeracy and Digital (LLND) assessment. This assessment is completed as part of the pre-enrolment process through the LLND Portal – myllnd.com/login/

The LLND assessment helps identify whether a student may need additional support during their studies and ensures they are placed in a course that is appropriate for their skill level. Assessments are aligned with the Australian Core Skills Framework (ACSF) and include language, literacy, numeracy and digital skills.

Students must complete their LLND assessment via the LLND Portal before they can be formally enrolled. Further instructions on how to access and complete the assessment will be provided to prospective students as part of the pre-enrolment process.

Rolling Intakes

The college offers rolling intakes, allowing students to choose their preferred commencement date with the college. This provides flexibility for the students by allowing them to select the commencement date that best suits their academic plans.
