Adult tertiary preparation
The Adult Tertiary Preparation (ATP) course is specifically designed for people who want to study at university, but do not have the entrance rank they need to gain entry. The Certificate IV in Adult Tertiary Preparation will give you a selection rank and help you fulfill the subject prerequisites for university entry. ATP is ideal for anyone who has been away from formal education for several years. It will help you learn how to learn again, so you can embark on your tertiary studies with the confidence to tackle assessments with ease and a clear knowledge of expectations.
