A robust reasonable adjustment process and individual learning plan process is in place for all students. If a student identifies either at point of enrolment or post enrolment that they have a disability or learning need, both the Student Support team and Learning team are trained and equipped to work collaboratively in supporting each student’s needs. Our reasonable adjustment practices have included examples of course extensions, longer periods for exams, printing of learning materials in larger format, additional 1:1 face-to-face support. One of the key benefits to our students is that the course is flexible and there are no set assessment deadlines - we work 1:1 with each student to put these goals in place throughout their study. Access to online studies and support networks without needing to travel Adapted training and assessment tools to include the student's range of abilities Again through one on one assistance. We also buddy people to complete coursework and have provided online webinars to support the coursework. Blended delivery methodology Clustered face to face delivery, telephone and videoconference support; smaller groups to cater for less available clients, trainer travels to smaller, isolated communities Course delivered in language other than English Ensure the training is practical, use visual training aids to maximise learning, provide language, literacy and numeracy assistance throughout the program Face to face learning in small groups, continue to rephrase until the words connect. Extended timelines to submit material Flexible and practical approach to learning and assessment. On the job assessments, observations. Individualised learning and assessment programs Majority of courses available through online and/or remote learning allowing students in rural or isolated geographical locations to participate where they may not have been able to attend a classroom-based course Modified training materials Online learning and work based delivery Our success rate comes from the fact we deliver face to face classroom training supplemented with on the job training and assessment Providing online learning with dedicated distance trainers who use Skype and telephone to maintain weekly contact with student Small number in standard classes to deal with students one on one To engage these student we put all our learning resources online, meaning our students can learn through audio books and educational step by step DVDs and also one on one, face to face. Matching trainers and learners and ensuring trainers have appropriate training and background Using mix of classroom, online and workplace Pathways practices Continuous careers advice and planning
