Overview of Assessment
Assessment for this course is ongoing throughout the semester. Your knowledge and understanding of course content is assessed through participation in class exercises, oral/written presentations and through the application of learned skills and insights. Full assessment briefs will be provided and can be found on CANVAS
Assessment Tasks
The assessment is conducted in both theoretical and practical aspects of the course according to the performance criteria set in the National Training Package. Assessment may incorporate a variety of methods including written/oral activities and demonstration of practical skills to the relevant industry standards. Participants are advised that they are likely to be asked to personally demonstrate their assessment activities to their teacher/assessor. Feedback will be provided throughout the course. To successfully complete this course you will be required to demonstrate competency in each assessment task detailed under Assessment Tasks:
Assessment 1: Assignment
Assessment 3: Closed Book Test 1
Assessment 4: Closed Book Final Test
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 to a standard expected in the workplace. To be assessed as Competent in a course, students will need to complete each assessment task to a satisfactory standard.
Results that apply to courses that are delivered and assessed in accordance with competency-based assessments are:
• CA - Competency Achieved
• NYC - Not Yet Competent
• DNS - Did not submit for assessment.
