Language, Literacy, Numeracy and Digital Capabilities (LLND) Requirement

In response to ASQA Standards 1.7 Supporting Students and 5.1 to 5.3 Informing and Protecting Students, Skills SA has introduced the Upfront Assessment of Needs (UAN) for school students undertaking publicly subsidised accredited training. School students must undertake the mandated short indicative assessment (SRNI) to assess if the individual is at the required ACSF Exit Level 2. If no further assessment is indicated, the individual can proceed in the UAN process. However, if further assessment is indicated, the student will need to undertake the Literacy and Numeracy Comprehensive Assessment (LaNCA) test to enable confirmation and establish the current ACSF Working Level and ACSF Exit Level.

Queensford College will assess enrolment outcomes based on the gaps identified. If there are minor gaps Queensford College may provide assistance to the students directly. However, if significant gaps are identified in the LaNCA, the school will be required to provide the relevant support to those students.
