To be deemed competent you must demonstrate an understanding of all aspects required of the competency. Assessment methods have been designed to measure your achievement of each competency in a flexible manner over multiple tasks.
Assessment Tasks
Students are required to complete two different types of assessment tasks
1. Workbook activities as evidence of classroom participation ( 20% weighing)
2. Successful completion of assessment 1 demonstrating the ability to design, size and document the layout details for a commercial (Class 6) building; using an approved sanitary plumbing system to a minimum of six floors, inclusive of a basement, to include fixtures on each floor level (excluding the basement)( 40% weighing)
3. Successful completion of assessment 2 demonstrating the ability to design, size and document the layout details for a residential building; using an approved sanitary plumbing system to a minimum of six floors, inclusive of a basement, to include fixtures on each floor level (excluding the basement)( 40% weighing)
To successfully complete this unit, a student needs to be deemed competent (CA grade) in all three assessment tasks.
Grading Criteria:
NYC - Not yet competent
CA - Competence Achieved
DNS - Did not submit assessment
