Identify the Language Literacy and Numeracy (LLN) needs of the students:
LLN test is available at https:/ibmvic.quiz.lln.training/?quizld=acsf4. IBM (VIC) Training and Assessment is committed to supporting all our students in successfully completing their selected course of study. National research consistently indicates that many students will require some level of LLN support.

As such, we recognise that we have a responsibility to understand each student’s unique LLN needs. Our desire is to identify any LLN needs that students may have as a student and to assist them in reducing the impact this may have on their studies with IBM (VIC).

Therefore, student is compulsory undertake LLN Test, which is to ensure that we confirm the learning needs of our participants prior to commencement of the training.

All international students must have Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC) for the entire duration of their stay in Australia.

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is a process where skills and knowledge that you have gained through work and life experience and other unrecognised training can be formally recognised.

IBM (VIC) has a process that has been structured to minimise the time and cost to applicants and provides a supportive approach to students wishing to take up this option. You should ideally apply for RPL at the time of enrolment, but you may also apply up to 2 weeks into your course. During the entry process and interview stage IBM (VIC) will discuss with you the process and options for RPL. Suitability is often determined on how much experience you have in a certain area, your work history and previous training. If RPL is determined as a possibility for you, you will be provided with a kit that will guide you in working through each unit to determine relevant skills and experience and identify whether you would be able to provide the required evidence.

A trainer/assessor will be available to assist you throughout this process.

*Please refer to your Student Prospectus for more information on RPL. As an international student you should note that where you are granted RPL this will reduce your course duration, and you will be informed of this in writing.

Student needs are declared by the applicant at the time of enrolment: the application form and PTR form allows the applicant to self-declare where they have learning disabilities.

Every student is interviewed either face-to-face or over the telephone to attempt to establish the applicant skill and knowledge levels, their current employment and how that relates to the course content and interaction.

Where language, literacy and numeracy are in question Institute of Business and Management (Victoria) has a language, literacy and numeracy (LLN) assessment they may undertake to confirm their level of language, literacy and numeracy skills.

IBM (VIC) can grant you credit towards your course for units of competency that you have already completed with another RTO or authorised issuing organisations. We can also grant you Credit for subjects or units you have completed where equivalence can be established between the unit in your course, and the subject or unit you have completed.

There is no charge to apply for Credit.

To apply, fill in the Credit Application Form and submit it as part of your enrolment.

*Please refer to your Student Prospectus for more information on Course Credit. As an international student you should note that where you are granted credit this will reduce your course duration and you will be informed of this in writing.
