Applying for a course at William Angliss? Information for applicants with access needs

William Angliss Institute is committed to providing equitable access to educational opportunities for students with a diagnosed disability, medical condition or mental health condition.

Applicants or students who require adjustments can contact William Angliss Institute's Access & Disability Service to discuss their support needs.

Literacy and numeracy assessment

All Australian students applying for certificates and diplomas will be required to complete an online literacy and numeracy assessment for government funded courses. Due to the level of independent study required in most courses at William Angliss Institute, minimal assistance can be given to applicants during this assessment.

Transition to Tertiary Study

William Angliss’ Disability Transition service ensures a seamless experience for students with disability navigating the pathway from secondary to tertiary study. Our Disability Transition Officer provides a single point of contact for students, giving support, advice and guidance to students with disability and their families, before, during and after application and enrolment into TAFE education.

Please contact the Access & Disability Service for more information about Transition Support.
