Overview of Assessment

This is a progressive assessment, the students are required to undertake summative assessments as follows:
• Written assignment related to Occupational Health and Safety
• Practical demonstration in simulated workplace


Assessment Tasks

This Competency is taught in conjunction with “UEENEEE003B Solve problems in extra LV circuits" and "UEENEEE004B Solve problems in multiple path d.c. circuits" of the total mark for each assessment in order to pass the competency successfully.

This competency is delivered in conjunction with “UEENEEE003B Solve problems in extra LV circuits" and "UEENEEE004B Solve problems in multiple path d.c. circuits" therefore teaching schedule and assessments include three competencies under the same cluster: Electrical Fundamentals & OHS.

This course is graded using the following course grades-

CHD- Competent with High Distinction
CDI- Competent with Distinction
CC- Competent with Credit
CAG- Competency Achieved - Graded
