Assisting Our Learners

For learner convenience ATEC does not require learners to re-enrol each term, semester or year.

Where a need is identified, ATEC offers learners LLN Assessment in the context of their training course and where necessary, additional support will be negotiated with the learner and training staff e.g. individual tutoring or an external service provider.

All learners undertaking a pre-employment training course are required to complete the ATEC LLN assessment as part of the application process.

ATEC's RPL Policy and processes ensure that RPL is an integrated component of its competency-based course delivery and assessment.

ATEC provides learners with RPL services that include an assessment of previous work experience and other informal learning for entry into, and/or partial completion of a qualification.

Where identified by case managers, training and assessment staff or the learner, individual tutoring can be arranged and if necessary referral to professional services can be accessed.

All of ATEC's training sites across metropolitan Adelaide are accessible to learners with disabilities. Where appropriate ATEC can access support services to assist learners with disabilities. ATEC's contribution and commitment to the community has been recognised through receipt of a Disability Training Provider of the Year award.

ATEC sources and approves enterprises for work placements in a number of ways e.g. advertising, industry and employer contacts, etc. All placements are approved on an individual basis to ensure compliance with regulatory and insurance requirements. Work placements are generally only provided for pre-employment training courses where work experience is a requirement of the training course.

Whilst employment opportunities cannot be guaranteed, ATEC can offer employment assistance to suitable graduates through its network of industry and employer contacts, links with Group Training Organisations and Apprenticeship Centres, through ATEC Recruitment Solutions and its relationships with Job Services Australia (JSA) and Disability Employment Services (DES) agencies.
