What if I need more help with reading or numbers?

Ask early about learning support and suitable adjustments.

How can you ask for useful support?

Describe the specific reading, number or digital task you find difficult. ASQA's student guidance supports clear information, fair assessment and an inclusive learning environment. A practical discussion is more useful than a general promise of help.

What should be agreed?

Ask what support or adjustment is available, when you can use it and how it works with assessment. Keep the plan in writing. Adjustments do not remove competence requirements, and no particular provider's support has been verified.
