In line with our practices, students with special needs are offered the same opportunities as any other candidate. Our training and assessment programs will take special needs into consideration. Flexible learning and assessment methods will be adapted according to your specific requirements if necessary.

As part of the overall enrolment process, JHIT will work with you to develop a customised plan for your learning that will address course requirements as well as your personal circumstances. This includes the opportunity for you to complete a Language, Literacy and Numeracy (LLN) indicator which will identify any areas in which additional support may be required.

Programs Funded by the South Australian Government Several of our courses attract a heavy government subsidy to eligible students. As a pre-qualified supplier we are very pleased to be able to help our students. Government funding options available include:
