Overview of Assessment
A person who demonstrates competency in this unit must be able to plan and design mechanical engineering projects for a range of engineering applications. Competency in this unit cannot be claimed until all prerequisites have been satisfied.
The assessment is conducted in both theoretical and practical aspects of the course according to the performance criteria set in the National Training Package.
Assessment may incorporate a variety of methods including written/oral activities and demonstration of practical skills to the relevant industry standards.
Participants are advised that they are likely to be asked to personally demonstrate their assessment activities to their teacher/assessor.
Feedback will be provided throughout the course.To successfully complete this course you will be required to demonstrate competency in each assessment task
