Learner consultation
Using our unique four-level service delivery model, we guide you through a personalised learning pathway, helping you understand more about your learning differences and strengths, showing you how to manage transition points strategically, teaching key academic skills when needed, and keeping you on track to achieve your academic goals. After each session, you will receive comprehensive notes; they are your roadmap to academic success.
Our approach is practical, strengths-based, and holistic. We know that if you feel good about your learning, good grades follow.

2. Navigate
Puts you firmly on the pathway to achieving your learning goals. Gives you a clear understanding of special assessment conditions, institutional and course expectations, support services, funding options, assistive technology and more.
3. Develop
