Assessment Matrix
<font size="3">To be deemed competent students must demonstrate an understanding of all elements of a competency. Assessment methods have been designed to measure achievement of each competency in a flexible manner over multiple tasks. 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.
</font><font size="3">All competency based assessments for this course must be completed to achieve CA. If a student has been marked NYC (Not Yet Competent), in any of the assessment tasks, then they will be granted a reassessment for that assessment. Reassessment will be granted to only those students who were either unsuccessful in the first attempt or have been approved special consideration (please refer to the RMIT website regarding the policy with respect to the application and submission of a special consideration).</font>
<font size="3">To be deemed competent in this unit the participant will be required to demonstrate all indicators which are shown in the assessment tasks for each assessment.
</font>Marking Guide for each assessment (competency):
Vocational Education and Training (VET) is based on current industry needs and the focus on preparing you for the workplace. Because VET courses are informed by practical application of knowledge and skills, they are based on a system known as ‘competency based training’ (CBT). So when you are assessed in VET it is about whether you are competent to do the job, as well as having a firm grasp on the knowledge and skills required to do that job, as opposed to traditional curriculum based education settings that are often based on knowledge retention. <o:p></o:p>
You need to demonstrate you are competent in each element of the unit of competency you are studying.
You will receive feedback on each assessment task that will inform you whether you are competent or not and how well you are performing. Once competent in all elements of the unit you receive a competency grading. The assessment matrix documents are attached to each assessment.
Marking Guide (Grading)
After achieving competency we then grade your performance in the unit; this gives you the opportunity to have the level of your performance formally recognized against industry standards and employability skills. If you are deemed competent in all three assessments, then you will be given a CA (competent) for this course.
