Complete the online Language, Literacy and Numeracy (LLN) Test

Before starting your studies at UMA College, you must successfully complete the Language, Literacy, and Numeracy (LLN) online test. If you’re applying for more than one course, you only need to complete the LLN test once.


The purpose of the LLN test is to:

  • Ensure you have the language, literacy, and numeracy skills necessary for your chosen course
  • Identify areas where you might need additional support
  • Enable UMA College to provide tailored assistance during your studies

This test is an important step in preparing for your success at UMA College.

Application review and outcome

Once UMA College receives and processes your application, you can expect to receive an outcome within 24 hours.

If successful, you will be issued a Letter of Offer outlining:

  • Your chosen course(s)
  • Tuition fees
  • Terms and conditions

The offer may either be a full offer or a conditional offer requiring further documentation.

To secure your place, you will need to:

  • Formally accept the Letter of Offer
  • Make any necessary payments as outlined in the Letter of Offer

Once your acceptance and payment are confirmed, UMA College will issue your Confirmation of Enrolment (CoE).

With your CoE, you can proceed to apply for a student visa. If you are applying through an education agent, they will assist you with your visa application.
