Pre-Training Review & Language, Literacy and Numeracy Assessment

What is a Pre-Training Review? A Pre-Training Review ensures that the training delivered by your training provider is designed to meet your individual needs, and to determine the most suitable and appropriate training for you. The information you provide helps us understand your training needs, your current competencies, opportunities for Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) and Credit Transfer (CT), and ensures your current Language, Literacy and Numeracy skills are at the level required of your chosen qualification. If you need any help through this assessment, please ask our friendly staff.
