Supported Programs

Guilford Young College is an inclusive educational institution that offers a wide range of programs to meet the needs of all students.

The College provides assistance to those who require additional support in improving their literacy, numeracy, or general learning and life skills. This may include intensive transition support to prepare for college entry before our Head Start program, guidance in selecting suitable subjects from our diverse range of TASC courses, a personal Learning Plan, and extra classroom help from a Learning Support Officer.

All students with learning needs are case-managed by the campus Learning Support Coordinator, who works closely with the Pastoral Care Team, Learning Support Officers, teachers, and tutors.

The College supports all of its students to participate in every area of college life, including co-curricular and vocational experiences.

To provide physical access, the Hobart Campus has ramps and several lifts, while the Glenorchy Campus has most classrooms located on the ground level, providing a flat site. The Glenorchy campus theatre is fully accessible, with a lift and wheelchair accessible toilets, as well as Audio Loop for use with hearing aids.

Guilford Young College welcomes newly arrived overseas students and students from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds, including exchange students.

English as an Additional Language or Dialect classes are available at beginner (Level 1), intermediate (Level 2), and pre-tertiary (Level 3) levels. In-class and additional assistance with English may be available on a one-to-one or small group basis.
