Overview of Assessment

Assessment methods have been designed to measure achievement of the requirements in a flexible manner over a range of assessment tasks, for example: 

• analysis of responses to case studies and scenarios
• direct questioning combined with review of portfolios of evidence and third-party workplace reports of on-the-job performance by the candidate
• observation of role plays
• review of documentation outlining legal obligations, criteria and purpose

Students are advised that they are likely to be asked to personally demonstrate their assessment work to their teacher to ensure that the relevant competency standards are being met.
