    ***Important Notice***
    The following questions must be completed on your own and submitted to Learning Live as soon as possible so we can see if you will need some additional support with reading and writing in your course. We will need time to plan for your support.

    Learning Live recognises that reading, writing, listening, speaking and understanding mathematical concepts are integral skills required for work and are therefore an important component of training. As all students are individuals with different life experiences, literacy and numeracy skills can vary.

    If you have a language, literacy or numeracy concern that is affecting your learning within the training program, talk with Learning Live Training & Assessment on the phone: 5565 9000.
