Overview of Assessment
This course may be assessed through a range of practical exercises, assignments and progressive tests.
Assessment Tasks
Assessment is conducted according to the Performance Criteria in the National Training Package. The students are required to undertake summative assessment that bring together knowledge and skills. To successfully complete this course you will be required to demonstrate competency in each assessment task detailed under Assessments Tasks.
Your assessment for this course will be marked as follows:
This course is graded using the following course grades-
CHD- Competent with High Distinction
CDI- Competent with Distinction
CC- Competent with Credit
CAG- Competency Achieved - Graded
NYC- Not Yet Competent
DNS- Did Not Submit for Assessment
Assessment Criteria
CHD Competent with High Distinction: Students should be able to complete the project given basically without help.The learner will demonstrate an exceptionally clear understanding of the subject matter and appreciation of the issues. Arguments will be well formed and sustained, and problem solving will be well thought out and structured.
CDI Competent with Distinction: Students should be able to complete the project with minimal help. The learner will demonstrate a detailed understanding of the key issues, but perhaps lacking in the finer points. The learner will demonstrate a clearly developed, relevant and well-structured approach while working on the practical exercises.
CC Competent with Credit: The learner will demonstrate a competent understanding of the subject but with minor gaps, and will demonstrate a well prepared and presented approach to problem solving.
CP Competent with Pass: The learner demonstrates some appreciation of the subject matter, but the work is generally lacking in depth and with gaps. Work at this level may be poorly presented and contain some minor errors.
NYC Not Yet Competent: The learner will show evidence of minimal or inadequate understanding of the subject matter.

Assessment Tasks
There Project assessment tasks that encompass all requirements of this course for competence.
The projects can be progressively developed and demonstrated over certain weeks in the semester.
It is intended candidates will incorporate topics covered in class week by week as they develop their project.
All parts of the following that can demonstrated in the project work at each stage of assessment will be recorded and contribute towards the final assessment:
• Performance Criteria
• Critical Aspects of assessment
• Required Skills and Knowledge
• Range Statement
These are summarised below.
