Students are required to complete a LLN (language, literacy, numeracy) questionnaire.  This process enables Civil Safety to determine if  the student requires any additional language, literacy and numeracy support to complete the course requirements, and allows our trainers to plan their delivery accordingly. Alternatively, where a need is identified, students will be advised of external LLN support service providers they can engage to assist them to gain the level of LLN required to achieve the course requirements,  prior to booking into a course. The link to the LLN questionnaire  will be provided with enrolment information.

Students must possess a level of physical fitness that allows them to complete the practical tasks required.  Any disabilities must be advised during the enrolment process. In addition, a Fitness to Participate Form will be provided at commencement of the course,  to identify any ‘current’ ailments, injuries, or disabilities that may impact the students ability to perform physical tasks required during the course.
