Pre-Training Review (PTR)
The Pre-Training Review (PTR) is conducted prior to the enrolment into VET student’s course of studies to ensure that the training and assessment provided by Australian School of Commerce (ASOC) can meet the student’s individual needs.
Before ASOC makes an offer, ASOC will review the student’s current competencies, student needs, English level, digital literacy, support requirements and oral communication skills, to enrol them in the most appropriate course to achieve their intended outcomes. * As part of this review, VET students will be required to complete a Language, Literacy, Numeracy, and Digital (LLND) skills assessment. This assessment will help ASOC determine whether VET students have the entry level skills required for this course and if any additional support or reasonable adjustments are needed to assist in achieving VET student’s learning goals.
As part of the PTR, VET students will be encouraged to inform ASOC of any religious or cultural needs such as prayer breaks or fasting requirements so appropriate support or adjustments can be arranged
The pre-training review ensures that ASOC:
- Understands the VET students’ reasons for undertaking the course.
- Ensures the suitability of the training for the VET students.
- Understands the VET students’ current competencies and therefore provides opportunities for these to be assessed.
- Identifies possible Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) and/or Credit Transfer (CT), student’s English level, oral communication skills, knowledge on language Literacy, Numeracy & Digital skills.
- Assess VET student’s proficiency in English language, oral communication, and LLND core skills
- Check if the training and assessment strategies employed to deliver the course suit the student’s needs, and
- Provides relevant support required for the student to succeed in the course.
- Identify and arrange any necessary academic, digital, language, or wellbeing support for you to succeed.
