Overview of Assessment

Assessment will be in the form of observation of your ability to identify customer requirements from customer information, identify components products and services necessary to meet customer requirements, identify potential difficulties and hazards, and develop sketches, diagrams and drawings which help define customer requirements. Also by questioning for underpinning knowledge.


Assessment Tasks

You will be assessed by observation as you identify customer requirements from customer information, identify components products and services necessary to meet customer requirements, identify potential difficulties and hazards, and develop sketches, diagrams and drawings which help define customer requirements (you can check the performance criteria above for more detials of these skills). You will be questioned for underpinning knowledge for all these operations.
