What is LLND?

LLND stands for Language, Literacy, Numeracy and Digital skills. It covers the ability to read, write, use numbers and work with digital tools and technology. We check these skills to make sure you’re ready for your course and to support you if you need extra help.

Why is LLND mandatory?

Under the Australian Skills Quality Authority (ASQA) Standards for RTOs 2025, all RTOs must assess prospective students’ LLND skills before enrolment. See ASQA guidance here: Standards for RTOs 2025. This means the LLND assessment is a required step — it is not optional.

What does this mean for you?

You will be asked to complete a short LLND assessment after payment. The assessment identifies your current skills. If the assessment shows you would benefit from additional support, we’ll work with you to provide it so you can succeed in your course. The assessment outcome does not prevent you from enrolling; it ensures you enter the right course and receive the support you need.

How we’ve made the process easy and streamlined

• The assessment is short and can be done online at a time that suits you.
• Instructions are clear and simple.
• If you need adjustments (e.g. extra time or a different format), let us know and we’ll organise it.
• Once finished, you can proceed with enrolment with confidence.

What you need to do right now

• Look out for the email or link inviting you to complete the LLND assessment.
• Set aside about 20–30 minutes in a quiet space.
• Use a computer with internet access — the digital part covers basic tool use.
• If you’re unsure or need support at any stage, contact us — we’re here to help.

Why we do it

We want you to have the best chance of success in your study and work. By identifying your LLND strengths and areas for improvement early, we can:

• Provide targeted help from the outset,
• Avoid enrolling you in a program that may be too difficult without support,
• Improve your chances of completing your qualification and achieving your goals.
