Overview of Assessment
This unit of competency could be assessed in the workplace or a close simulation of the workplace environment, provided that simulated or project-based assessment techniques fully replicate building design workplace conditions, materials, activities, responsibilities and procedures. Holistic or project-based assessment with other related units is recommended.
A person who demonstrates competency in this unit must be able to provide evidence of the ability to:
• comply with OHS regulations applicable to workplace operations
• apply organisational policies and procedures, including quality assurance requirements where applicable
• produce two and three-dimensional drawings for residential building projects, including at least one orthographic, one isometric and one perspective drawing
• complete working drawings to industry standard and as determined by the project brief.
Assessment Tasks
ALL ASSESSMENT TASKS MUST BE SUBMITTED IN ORDER TO PASS THIS COURSE
Assessment Summary:
AT1-Cabin Submission

Courses delivered in accordance with competency-based assessment.
Results:
CA Competency Achieved
NYC Not Yet Competent
DNS Did Not Submit for assessment
A grade of DNS will be recorded if a student fails to submit all assessments or fails the final major project.
To demonstrate competency in this course you will need to complete all the assessment to a satisfactory standard.
You will receive feedback from the teacher at the conclusion of each assessment task. You will be provided feedback and comments about your work and how it can be improved to fulfil all the requirements for your assessments and competency in this course.
All Students are advised that they may be asked to resubmit assessment tasks or to personally demonstrate their assessment work to confirm aspects of competency not evidenced in class or through assessments. The teacher may request further assessment evidence if a resubmission could result in competency being demonstrated by student.
Competency is achieved only if competency has been demonstrated within the standard enrolment period.
Assessment Matrix
An assessment matrix demonstrating alignment of assessment tasks with the relevant Unit of Competency is available from the course Coordinator - Jim Karakiklas.
