If you are a funded student from South Australia, you are required to undertake the Upfront Assessment of Needs. This includes an interview (similar to the pre-training review) and the completion of the Snapshot Reading and Numeracy Indicator (SRNI). This will help us to determine your LLN requirements. If your assessment shows that you have an ACSF level below exit level 2, you will be required to complete the Core Skills Profile for Adults (CSPA). This is a more in-depth LLN review. Once you have completed the CSPA, if your ACSF level is below exit 2, you will be offered extra support to complete your studies.

To get extra support you will be referred to our Learning Support Service (LSS). Our LSS is offered through MADEC in Christies Beach, SA. Contact details are:

This is especially so if your circumstances change whilst undertaking your studies. The LSS can also help you with any problems that you may have for up to twelve weeks after completing your course.

The LSS can help you with any complex learning needs that you may have. This can include:

• Referral and liaison with career management and development services

If you wish to be referred to the LSS, you can be self-referred or you can contact your trainer who will help you with a referral. To self-refer simply contact the LSS using the details above stating your name, the RTO you are studying with (Qualify) and the course you are doing.

If you have English as a second language and it is apparent to the person completing the UAN with you that you struggle to speak or understand English, you will not be asked to complete the CSPA; instead, you will be referred to an English proficiency course in your local area.
