If you are having difficulty keeping up in your course it is important to talk to your teacher who may be able to arrange extra tutorial assistance, including help with English or maths.

Adult Basic Education

Adult Basic Education sections can help you with reading, writing and maths skills. Tutorial support is also available if you are studying a course in another area. Teachers work with you to develop an individual program to suit your needs. To discuss your needs, contact the Adult Basic Education section at your college.

Individual Learning Centre

The Individual Learning Centre is the place to go to improve your English, maths, communication or study skills. It is open up to five days a week and you can enrol at any time. Individual programs are designed to help you work at a pace that is right for you.

Contact the Individual Learning Centre at your local college.

Multicultural Education

We offer many programs and services to ensure that people from a language background other than English have access to vocational education and training. Programs include English for Specific Purposes (ESP) courses that assist people to gain vocational skills so that they can get a job or go on to further study. Support is also provided to students in mainstream courses who need help with their English. Contact a Multicultural Education Coordinator at your local college.

Problems

See Career Advice and Counselling if you can’t keep up with the workload, speak to your teacher, head teacher or counsellor. If you need help with specific subjects, talk to your teachers who can help you arrange tutorial assistance. If you think you’ve chosen the wrong course, talk to your head teacher or counsellor.

Reading/Writing/Maths

There is free help available in almost all TAFE colleges for improving your reading, writing and/or maths. This tuition may be offered in both day and evening sessions. You must be able to speak and understand English fairly well.

Tutorial support is also available for you if you are enrolled in other TAFE courses. Your teacher can assist with organising this.
