Overview of Assessment
The assessment is conducted in both theoretical and practical aspects of the course according to the performance criteria set in the National Training Package. 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. To successfully complete this course you will be required to demonstrate competency in each assessment task detailed under Assessment Tasks:

To be deemed competent you must demonstrate an understanding of all aspects required of the competency. Assessment methods have been designed to measure your achievement of each competency in a flexible manner over multiple tasks.
Assessment Tasks
Students must pass each of the following assessment tasks to demonstrate competent.
Assessment Task 1 – Field test due on 14/4/2014 (DS2) or 16/4/2014 (DS1) Weight 30%
Assessment Task 2 – Field test due on 2/6/2014 (DS2) or 4/6/2014 (DS1) Weight 30%
Assessment Task 3 - Portfolio due on 9/6/2014 (DS2) or 11/6/2014 (DS1) Weight 40%
All assessment tasks need to be succesfully completed to demonstrate competence.
Courses delivered in accordance with competency-based assessment, but which also utilise graded assessment.
CHD (80-100%): Competent with High Distinction
CDI (70-79%): Competent with Distinction
CC (60-69%): Competent with Credit
CAG (50-59%): Competency Achieved – Graded
NYC (<50%): Not Yet Competent
DNS: Did Not Submit an assessment
