Skills for Tertiary Education Preparatory Studies (STEPS) is a pre-University preparatory program that can help prepare potential applicants for tertiary study.
STEPS aims to afford adults who have turned 18, and who are Australian or New Zealand citizens or hold permanent resident or humanitarian visas, an opportunity to study at university.
Extended STEPS is a 24 week day-time program, designed to instill in its adult learners the skills and confidence necessary to embark on tertiary study.
STEPS covers academic communication, mathematics, computing, independent learning skills, study skills and library/information literacy skills.
The great majority of students who have completed STEPS have gained entrance to CQU or other tertiary institutions, while others have moved on to more rewarding careers.
