Overview of Assessment

To be deemed competent you must demonstrate an understanding of all aspects required of the competency.   

Regular attendance is necessary. 

Assessment methods have been designed to measure your achievement of each competency in a flexible manner over multiple tasks and consist of theory and practical based tasks.


Assessment Tasks

Assessment 1: Theory Assessment - Written Assessment 

The theory assessment will include short answer questions and diagrams as required.

 

Assessment 2: Practical Assessment – Practical Skills Test 

During your practical assessment you will be required to produce and critically evaluate 2 soldered or welded joints.


Assessment Matrix

The assessment tasks listed in this course guide address all the elements and criteria of the requirements of this course.
