Your assessment will be graded with either a Px(Satisfactory) or NYC(Not Satisfactory) according to the assessment guidelines in accordance with the training package elements and essential skills.

Your assessments tasks will consist of :

Occlusion studies test-  Written short answer test Monday 26th October 2015
Assessor: Craig McCracken

 

Word processed patient record report for every patient treated (Case Histories) A complete journal of experience in relation to outcomes of simulated practical training and clinical experience placement - All documents due no later than  
Assessor: Zanne Frazer

 

Perform elements and performance criteria of competence as designated for this unit of competence to the required standard consistently across a range of variables during clinical placement. See critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit.
 


Assessment Matrix
