1. Pre-assessment

2. Evidence of Language, Literacy and Numeracy skills
Chisholm wants you to feel confident that your chosen course is right for you! This is why we need evidence of your language, literacy and numeracy skills before we can finalise your enrolment.

We will accept any one of the following:

If you don’t have any of these, you will need to complete the LLN assessment below.

You will receive a separate email titled 'Chisholm - Your LLN - BKSB login details' containing your unique username and password.

In a quiet environment, set aside 45-60 minutes for both English and maths. Do not complete the diagnostic modules.
2. Assessment

A pre-training review is used to determine your competency levels and assist us with tailoring your training plan.

The review also helps to identify skills recognition and credit transfers when applying for a vocational education course.
