LANGUAGE, LITERACY AND NUMERACY (LLN) REQUIREMENTS

Booroongen Djugun College (BDC) recognises how important your LLN skills are when it comes to effectively participating in any course of study. In accordance with the Standards for RTOs 2015, BDC will assess your level of LLN skills before you start your course, using an online LLN test – LLN Robot. Your LLN test results will be measured against the LLN requirements of the course or courses you propose to study with BDC.

We realise that not all students have the skills to complete their course without help. BDC is committed to identifying any gaps in LLN and offer assistance in areas where students need it.

Our LLN strategy takes into account reasonable adjustment to our processes.

About the online LLN tests
With some qualifications you will need to successfully complete the online LLN test. On completion of your Expression of Interest, you will be sent an invitation to complete the LLN quiz. You only need to complete the LLN test once but if you’re returning to studies at BDC after a long break, you may need to complete the LLN test again.

The LLN test will evaluate your level of ability in five core skills as per the Australian Core Skills Framework (ACSF).

1. Reading
2. Writing
3. Learning
4. Oral communication
5. Numeracy

Test questions will range from drag and drop, re-ordering items, point and click, multiple choice, text entry and basic calculations.

The purpose of the LLN test is to ensure that you have the basic skills required to complete your studies and succeed in the workplace. The test will also give BDC a clear picture of your current level of language, literacy and numeracy skills so we can support you in your studies.
