The Australian Centre for Indigenous Knowledges and Education (ACIKE) provides an opportunity for Indigenous students to choose from a wide range of courses that will be delivered in a culturally appropriate way. Selected courses are also available to non-Indigenous students, interested in Indigenous Knowledges and policies.
ACIKE’s courses have been especially developed for Indigenous Australians:
* Course can be studied fully online
Our FREE Indigenous Preparation for Tertiary Success Program (PTS) has especially been designed for Indigenous students. If you have not studied in a while or completed year 12 and are unsure about whether you can succeed, our PTS program helps you to develop the skills, knowledge and confidence you need to be successful at university.
Successful completion will give you the minimum entry requirements for most Diploma and Bachelor programs at the Australian Centre for Indigenous Knowledges and Education (ACIKE), Charles Darwin University (CDU) and universities in South Australia.
Note: You can cancel the PTS application process at any time with no obligations.
The Indigenous Preparation for Tertiary Success program (PTS) is a free course that gives Indigenous students the minimum entry requirements to most Diploma and Bachelor programs at ACIKE, CDU and universities in South Australia, as well as the skills, knowledge and confidence to succeed at university.
The course is offered in workshop mode which consists of face-to-face workshops, followed by online work, completed at home. Participants will receive assistance from a coach/tutor who will support them with tasks and assignments throughout the semester.
The course is available in Casuarina or Alice Springs Desert Peoples Centre.
Funding is available to cover travel and accommodation costs for eligible students, if they are required to travel from their permanent home to undertake their studies (eg if you live outside of the NT or outside of the Alice Springs or Darwin areas).
As PTS gives you the minimum entry requirements to most ACIKE degrees, upon successful completion you will be ready to apply for admission to a wide range of ACIKE diploma and degree courses.
What’s more, as many ACIKE courses are also available online, in areas like Indigenous Knowledges and languages, public policy, creative industries and education and health, you will be able to study from anywhere in Australia.
You are at least 18 years old and are of Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander descent. You will need Year 10 or Year 11 standard. If you are a mature person without Year 10 or 11, you can apply on the basis of your skills and experience.
If your personal commitments require you to study fully online, Charles Darwin University’s Tertiary Enabling Program (TEP) might be an alternative for you.
