Assessment Tasks

Students enrolled in Vocational Education and Training qualifications are assessed for Competency. To be assessed as Competent means you have consistently demonstrated the required knowledge and skills at a standard expected in the workplace. 

To be assessed as Competent in this course, you will need to complete each assessment task to a satisfactory standard. You will receive feedback from the teacher for each assessment task. 

Assignment task 1 - Practical project

Due: Week 11*

Assignment task 2 - Practical project

Due: Week 16*

Assignment task 3 – Knowledge test

Due: Week 14*


*Due dates for assessment tasks dependent on access to specialist facilities and equipment may change. Please check Canvas regularly as any updates will be communicated by your teacher.


Results that apply to courses that are delivered and assessed in accordance with competency-based assessment are:
