Your Orientation 

We want you set up for success from day one. 

Before you start, we invite every new student to an orientation session. It is a required first step, and it is also one of the most useful things you will do. You will meet the team, see where you will learn, and get everything sorted so your very first day feels easy. 

Orientation keeps you safe and informed, and it takes the stress out of starting. You will leave knowing how everything works, what to expect, and exactly who to go to for help. 

What happens next 

Once you confirm your course, our Vocational Student Advisor will email you with all the details: the date, the time, and what to bring. All you have to do is come along ready to start. 

What we will cover 

• A warm welcome and an introduction to the College
• Who we are: our vision, values and what we stand for
• How NSW Smart and Skilled works, and what it means for you
