STUDENT SUPPORT
Comprehensive Support for Your Journey
AABT College is committed to supporting the academic success, personal wellbeing, and overall experience of international students in accordance with the Standards for Registered Training Organisations (SRTOs) 2025 and the National Code of Practice for Providers of Education and Training to Overseas Students 2018. We ensure that appropriate support services are available to assist students in achieving their learning goals, maintaining compliance with visa conditions, and successfully completing their training and assessment.
Academic Support
In alignment with the Standards for Registered Training Organisations (SRTOs) 2025, AABT College is committed to providing appropriate training support to ensure that all learners can successfully engage in and complete their training product. At enrolment, AABT College identifies individual learner needs through a pre-training review and LLN&D (Language, Literacy, Numeracy and Digital) test to determine the level of support required. Based on the outcomes, tailored support is provided, which may include additional academic assistance, language and literacy support, flexible delivery arrangements, access to learning resources, mentoring, or referral to external support services where necessary. AABT College ensures that all trainers and assessors are aware of learners’ individual needs and implement strategies that foster an inclusive and supportive learning environment, enabling every student to achieve the required competencies and learning outcomes.
Orientation and Transition Support
A comprehensive orientation program is conducted at the commencement to familiarise students with course requirements, AABT College policies, student rights and responsibilities, visa obligations, and available support services. Orientation also includes guidance on adapting to life in Australia and understanding Australian workplace culture.
Wellbeing and Counselling Support
AABT College acknowledges that students may experience personal or emotional challenges during their studies. Access to personal counselling, mental health referrals, and wellbeing support is available upon student request. Students are encouraged to seek assistance early to ensure issues do not affect their learning outcomes.
Welfare and Accommodation Support
International students receive information in finding suitable accommodation and understanding tenancy rights and responsibilities during orientation session. Support is also provided for daily living needs such as banking, transport, and accessing local community services.
