Overview of Assessment

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.


Assessment Tasks

Students are required to complete three different types of assessment tasks
1. Assessment 1 - Completion of underpinning questions ( 10% weighing)
2. Assessment 2 - Practical assessment.                               ( 10% weighing)

3. Assessment 3 - Practical assessment.                               ( 10% weighing)

4. Assessment 4 - Practical assessment.                               ( 10% weighing)

5  Assessment 5 - Practical assessment.                                ( 20% weighing)

6  Assessment 6 - Practical assessment.                                ( 20% weighing)

7. Assessment 7 - Practical assessment.                               ( 20% weighing)
To successfully complete this unit, a student needs to be deemed competent (CA grade) in all both assessment tasks.
Grading Criteria:
