Course Eligibility

In order to be enrolled in Foundation-Focused Training Opportunities (FFTO) training, a learner must be referred by a Work and Income case manager to the programme.

As part of the referral process, Work and Income case managers will use an assessment tool called the “Likelihood of Long-Term Benefit Receipt Predictor Tool” (LLTBR).

The LLTBR tool will assist each case manager to determine whether a specific client should be referred to a FFTO programme or a Training for Work programme.

For further information please talk to your case manager or contact PTI.
