All new learners are supported into their studies at FSNLC through an interview and orientation process to encourage inclusion and participation. An interview is conducted prior to enrolment, during which we assess the prospective student’s eligibility, English language, literacy and numeracy proficiency and which programs will contribute to goals for employment and further study.
