Mission Australia Training Institute, in conjunction with the Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations (DEEWR), offers the Language, Literacy and Numeracy Programme (LLNP).

All courses are based on the Certificate of General Education for adults. Upon successful completion of the course, students will receive a nationally-recognised certificate of attainment.
The programme is offered to those in need of assistance in developing their literacy and numeracy skills, and who are:
A) Job seekers aged 15 – 20 years
B) Job seekers aged over 21 years receiving Centrelink income support
