Overview of Assessment

Assessment is ongoing throughout the course and will include a range of practical and theory components. Full assessment briefs will be provided and can be found on Canvas.

This is a Vocational Education and Training qualification and is assessed for Competency. To be assessed as Competent means you have consistently demonstrated the required knowledge and skills at a standard required in the workplace. To be assessed as Competent in this course, you will need to complete each assessment task to a satisfactory standard. You will receive feedback from the teacher at the conclusion of each assessment task.

Results that apply to courses that are delivered and assessed in accordance with competency-based assessment are:

CA: Competency Achieved
NYC: Not Yet Competent
DNS: Did not Submit for Assessment


Assessment Tasks

Assessment Task 1 - Draft a Crew Schedule and Define Disruption Issues. Due week 3.

With peers, you will draft a crewing schedule and identify any potential disruption issues. Please note: as a group, you will be defining crewing the requirements for a production project and drafting the equipment list for each bump in and bump out task.

Assessment Task 2 - Create a Production Schedule. Due week 15.

Create and submit your own production schedule, based on an industry production. You will have access to at least one resource schedule and access to a production budget. You are also required to write a short reflection and overview of your production schedule, as well as articulate any stakeholders that you collaborate with.
