Marking Guides
Criteria for 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. You need to demonstrate you are competent in all of the elements of competency you are studying – which means you will need to pass every assignment as each one addresses a different element.
The Competency Guide is designed to show you what knowledge and skills you need to demonstrate in each assessment.
The Level of Performance Grading Sheet will tell you how well you are performing (tracking at a P, C, D or HD level).
Assessment Matrix
Full details on how this course is assessed against Unit elements and performance criteria plus critical aspects of evidence can be found in the Learning and Assessment Tool available from your course teacher.
