Literacy and Numeracy Support

Do you find maths, reading, writing or listening a challenge? Do you feel like you're missing certain foundational skills needed in your training, such as measuring, using a computer, understanding fractions, converting millimetres, constructing paragraphs or expressing yourself in class conversations and presentations? 

If you answered yes to any of these, you may have gaps in your literacy or numeracy skills. And that's okay. People can have gaps in their foundational skills for many reasons – from facing hardships to simply having different learning preferences. Whatever the case, our LN Support team is here to help. 

LN Support is a free TAFE service for eligible Box Hill Institute students, designed to help you fill gaps in your prior learning so you can complete your course work and go on to succeed in your future workplace.
