The FLIQ program is for Community based organisation only, who are already registered with CTSDE.
FLIQ – Flexible Learning Initiatives Queensland – is an educational initiative designed to engage individuals who have not experienced success in traditional learning pathways. It provides a number of pathways that deliberately focus on building core literacy, numeracy and critical thinking skills necessary for learners to engage in our modern society and become productive citizens. For some learners, the goal is to return to mainstream education and learning, but for many it is the way forward to gain the core skills necessary to engage productively in their community and to seek and sustain employment.
The program is designed to work in partnership with community based organisations. The FLIQ program runs out of The School of Distance Education – Charters Towers through its partnering centres across the state. The success of the program lies with these partnering centres who are focused on the well‐being and success of their clients.
While the main educational focus of the program is on providing students with core literacy and numeracy skills and qualifications, the students will also have access to the full scope of subjects and courses offered by our school (e.g. VET courses and authority subjects).
