Learning Outcomes
Overview of Assessment
Students must demonstrate all elements of competency through a variety of methods showing their understanding of elements of a particular competency to be deemed competent.
Assessment methods have been designed to measure achievements of each competency in a flexible manner. Assessments may incorporate a variety of methods: analysis of responses to case studies and scenarios, demonstration of techniques, review of documentation outlining procedures, oral or written questioning to assess knowledge of general principles and processes and independent and group based research to assess competency, including the underpinning skills and knowledge.
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 met.
