What is LSS?

LSS refer to Learner Support Services (South Australia).

LSS provides, free of charge, non-clinical case management support to VET students, who face complex barriers to sustaining and completing their studies. The provision of LSS is funded by Skills SA to increase the retention of students and remove barriers to completion of their VET course.

LSS providers have been assessed and selected by Skills SA as having the expertise and functional capacity to provide case management support.

LSS is not intended to replace existing student support provision by InterCare Training but to enhance it. InterCare Training will continue to provide supports to its students in accordance with InterCare Training approved self-assessment and will work in good faith with the LSS provider to ensure its students can access enhanced supports as applicable.

LSS addresses complex issues that may impact on living, learning and transition and provides:

Liaison and advocacy with InterCare Training to ensure best supports are in place for each common client,
Supported referral and advocacy (e.g. health, housing, legal, Centrelink/employment services provider),
In-class and study skills support,
Personal Support, and
Support can occur during work placements.

LSS post course transition support provides similar supports in an employment or further training environment to support successful transition outcomes.

How Can I Access Additional Support Through a LSS?

Our Training team will be your point of contact for any support needed in addition to what we identify during the Suitability and Support Needs Assessment. You can email the InterCare Training team at training@intercaretrianing.com.au to discuss your needs and determine if you qualify.

Each client that is referred by InterCare Training or self-refers to one of our LSS providers will be assessed for eligibility of their services.

What Is The Upfront Assessment of Need (UAN)?

This is a process that training providers in South Australia follow, to ensure students get the support they need to successfully complete training.

All learners seeking access to subsidised training in South Australia must undertake and complete the UAN. Learners undertaking subsidised training who are required to transition to a new provider may be obliged to undertake any or all parts of the UAN again if their new provider is unable to accept the UAN results from their current provider.

The UAN Entails Three Distinct Assessments:

Suitability: To ensure the right fit between the student and qualification of choice.

Support: To ensure early identification and planning for the learner’s learning and personal support needs.

Literacy and Numeracy Capabilities: To ensure early identification and planning for the learner’s literacy and numeracy development needs.

The tool used to assess Literacy and Numeracy is the online ACER SRNI as a minimum and, if required, the CSPA. InterCare also uses the UAN Suitability and Support Needs Assessment template recommended by Skills SA, as a guide to determine student suitability and support needs.

ACER (Australian Council for Educational Research) are a leader in the development and provision of high-quality assessment and reporting tools and services for training providers.

NOTE: The ACER Literacy and numeracy assessments are not tests that can be passed or failed – these assessments are used to ensure students receive support if they need it.

What Is The Language, Literacy and Numeracy (LLN) Quiz?

The LLN quiz is an online tool designed to help determine students’ language, literacy and numeracy (LLN) levels. It is completed online through the LLN Robot.

Note:
This quiz has been designed for students who are not eligible for funding, however, interested to undertake Vocational Education and Training (VET) courses that InterCare Training offers under ‘Fee for Service’.

Why Is The LLN Quiz Necessary?

Every workplace task involves using the skills of speaking, listening, reading or writing and often mathematical skills as well – in other words, language, literacy and numeracy (LLN).

For each of our qualifications (and units of competency), the LLN skills levels needed to succeed in the workplace, have been identified. This quiz helps us to determine:

If you already have the required skills

If you experience any difficulty in completing the quiz, and

What your potential learning support needs may be, prior to commencing the course.

We consider all the information that you share with us during your initial information conversation, the pre-training review and your LLN to ensure the most suitable and appropriate qualification or training option is identified for you.

How Will This LLN Quiz Be Conducted?

Our friendly sales consultants will explain the enrolment process to you before sending through an email with relevant course and enrolment information.

You will receive a second email with a link to the quiz, including instructions on what to do.
