Support Services

My Skills caters to diverse client learning needs and aims to identify and respond to the learning needs of all students.  All students are encouraged to express their views about their learning needs at all stages of their learning experience from the initial enrolment and induction stage.

My Skills is committed to providing students requiring additional support, advice or assistance while training.  To achieve this and to ensure the quality delivery of training and assessment, the RTO provides support services to improve and extend training outcomes.
