Context
ALG recognises how vital your LLN skills are when it comes to participating actively and effectively in any course of study. In accordancewith the Standards for RTOs 2015, Australian Learning Group (ALG) will assess your level of LLN skills before you start your course, using anonline LLN test. Your LLN test results will be measured against the LLN requirements of the course or courses you propose to study withALG.
We realise that not all students have the LLN skills to complete their course without help. ALG is committed to identifying students’ gaps in
LLN and offering assistance in areas where students need it, where possible.
Our overall LLN strategy takes into account the process of reasonable adjustment to ALG’s standard processes and practices.
Reasonable adjustments are those that would not cause unjustifiable hardship to ALG 1
