You no longer have to accept less or be afraid to take that first crucial step.

Get to grips with the key basics: literacy, numeracy, and computers. Give yourself the power to participate more fully in society and improve the odds in your favour.

This course will help you:

  • Deal with and better understand the world around you
  • Read signs, make budgets, shop smarter, ask for help, etc
  • Remove employment barriers
  • Move onto other courses

But it’s not all about careers. These are also life skills. This course is about gaining confidence and feeling like you belong. It gives you the tools you need to add your voice, make your mark and move forward.

The qualification is for those looking for:

  • Reading, writing, oral communication, numeracy and learning skills (primarily aligned to Australian Core Skills Framework [ACSF] Level 1)
  • Entry level digital technology and employability skills
  • A pathway to employment and further vocational training

Recent migrants and/or those for whom English remains a serious hurdle, or those previously disadvantaged by or disengaged from standard schooling, may find this an ideal pathway to the skills and confidence they wish they had.

Thoroughly enjoyed completing my cert 3 and 4 in disability with WTS (previously AST), and am now working in a very rewarding career.

Course Participant Joanne

I would highly recommend WTS (previously AST) and if I decide to do more study I will definitely be using WTS.

Course Participant Heidi

I never had any problems communication with my trainer and they were always helpful and supportive! Thank you for believing in me but most importantly helping me believe in myself!

Course participant Crystall

I have recently completed my Diploma of Early Childhood Education and Care through WTS (previously AST) under the guidance of Carley who has been absolutely incredible as a trainer. The online studies made it fit into my busy life schedule, anywhere. I would highly recommend WTS to anyone looking to get into the Early Childhood Education field.
