Note: Fees may change during your course of study. AABT College reserves the right to discontinue or alter any course date, tuition or service fee, location, timetable or staffing without prior notice. This will constitute a provider default and all tuition fees will be handled in accordance with AABT College’s Refund Policy.

🧠 Language, Literacy, Numeracy and Digital Tests (LLN&D)
All students are required to undertake a Language, Literacy, Numeracy, and Digital (LLN&D) test mapped to ACSF through the Language, Literacy, Numeracy, and Digital (LLN&D) Robot to identify if a student requires AABT College to provide any additional support. The expected Language, Literacy, Numeracy, and Digital (LLN&D) outcome is ACSF Level 2 for Certificate III in Commercial Cookery.
This is not an entry requirement but is designed to determine if a student has any specific Language, Literacy, Numeracy, and Digital (LLN&D) support needs in the context of VET training and has a different purpose to the English entry requirements which are assessed prior to offering a student a place in a course.
The results of the Language, Literacy, Numeracy, and Digital (LLN&D) test are provided to the trainer, who can further advise the student if they require additional Language, Literacy, Numeracy, and Digital (LLN&D) support to successfully achieve the course outcomes.
If learners do not meet English and Language, Literacy, Numeracy, and Digital (LLN&D) requirements, learners will be asked to take further Language, Literacy, Numeracy, and Digital (LLN&D) training e.g. English Language Intensive Course for Overseas Learners (ELICOS) programs with AABT College.
