⬆️ Upskill and unlock your future, right here in Leeton ⬆️

UC Prep is coming to Country Universities Centre Leeton this year, and it's designed for people returning to study or starting for the first time. Whether you didn't finish school, haven't studied in years, or never saw university as an option, this is a common place to begin.

There's no ATAR and no formal entry requirement. Over 14 weeks, you'll build your academic skills and confidence step by step, with one on one support and the flexibility to work at your own pace. It's around four hours a week, delivered locally, and designed to fit around work and family.

The program is free for Australian and New Zealand citizens and permanent residents, and support is available to help with travel costs.

You don't need to have everything worked out. You simply need to be ready to take the first step.

☎️ Contact Shiron on 0436 461 003 for further information.
