Bridging units

Bridging units are units of study that cover skills in reading, writing and numeracy. If you are identified as needing support in any of these areas, bridging units will help you increase your skills to improve your chances of success in your qualification. Depending on your identified needs, you may need to enrol in a reading unit, writing unit, numeracy unit, or a combination of all three.

  • Identifying your bridging unit needs

    The Core Skills Profile for Adults (CSPA) is a tool designed to indicate reading, writing and numeracy skill levels. TAFE SA use this information to assess if you need to undertake bridging units to support you during your studies.

    If you receive an offer and are required to complete a bridging unit, details will be emailed to you.

  • Registering for bridging unit classes

    If you are required to complete bridging unit classes, instructions for registering will be emailed to you. You will need to complete the Bridging Unit Registration Form to complete your registration.

    Bridging unit classes can be attended online or at selected campuses. All classes have a start date listed, however, registrations are open until the end of week 2 of the term. Bridging units do not have to be completed straight away but must be completed while you are studying your vocational qualification.

    Once you have registered, we will send you an email confirming the class times and room details prior to the commencement of the class.
