Students enrolling into RII60520 – Advanced Diploma of Civil Construction Design must meet the following entry requirements:

• A candidate must be a minimum age of 18 years at the time of course commencement.
• Submit a copy of minimum Year 12 or equivalent qualification or AQF Certificate III / IV or higher.
• Successfully complete a Language, Literacy & Numeracy test (LLN):

  • All students are required to undertake a language, literacy, and numeracy (LLN) test conducted by the institute.
  • If learners do not meet English and LLN requirements, learners will be asked to take further Language, literacy, and numeracy training (as Institute doesn’t offer LLN training courses)
  • Through pre-training review learner will demonstrate that they have the necessary skills to successfully complete the course
• Ability to independently use & operate a computer/laptop and knowledge of basic use of office applications. (Part of the PTR process). Learners who do not possess basic computing skills will be referred to take basic computer training before enrolment (as Institute doesn’t offer IT training courses).
• Students may also need to have access to a computer & internet services outside class hours.
  • Although Institute will provide access to computers/laptops on loan with required resources during classroom hours however to work on assignments and tasks for self-study. However, all learners are expected to have access to a laptop or computer with the Windows 7 operating system or higher.
