Overview of Assessment
Assessment may incorporate a variety of methods including technical requirements documentation, homework, assignments, group and/or individual projects, in class exercises, written and practical tests, problem solving exercises, presentations, direct observation of actual and simulated work practice, presentation of a portfolio of evidence which may comprise documents, and/or photographs and/or video and audio files, review of products produced through work-based or course activities.
Students are advised that they are likely to be asked to personally demonstrate their assessment work to their teacher to ensure that the relevant competency standards are being met. Students will be provided with feedback throughout the course to check their progress.
Assessment Tasks
Students must demonstrate an understanding of all elements of the competency to be deemed competent and will be required to demonstrate all of the indicators shown below.
The following range of assessment methods will be used to assess practical skills and knowledge:
· analysis of responses to case studies and scenarios
· review of reports on customer service delivery
· demonstration of techniques
Critical aspects of assessments:
Evidence of the following is essential:
• identifying needs and priorities of customers
• distinguishing between different levels of customer satisfaction
• treating customers with courtesy and respect
• responding to and reporting on, customer feedback
• knowledge of organisational policy and procedures for customer service.
Assessment Tasks:
You are required to complete one major assignment which you must successfully complete to be deemed competent.
Case Study
This will incorporate all work you have completed in weeks 1-15. The assignment will be made available in week 11. You will be notified in due course of the due date for submission for this. This assignment must be submitted directly via the Learning Hub or by e-mail to your teacher.
All aspects of the assessment must be answered correctly to be deemed competent.
Assessment Matrix
To be deemed competent students must demonstrate an understanding of all elements of a competency. Assessment methods have been designed to measure achievement of each competency in a flexible manner over multiple tasks. Students are advised that they are likely to be asked to personally demonstrate their assessment work to their teacher to ensure that the relevant competency standards are being met.
All competency based assessments for this course must be completed to achieve CA. If a student has been marked NYC (Not Yet Competent), in any of the assessment tasks, then they will be granted a reassessment for that assessment. Reassessment will be granted to only those students who were either unsuccessful in the first attempt or have been approved special consideration (please refer to the RMIT website regarding the policy with respect to the application and submission of a special consideration).
To be deemed competent in this unit the participant will be required to demonstrate all indicators which are shown in the assessment tasks for each assessment.
Marking Guide for each assessment (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 each element of the unit of competency you are studying.
You will receive feedback on each assessment task that will inform you whether you are competent or not and how well you are performing. Once competent in all elements of the unit you receive a competency grading. The assessment matrix documents are attached to each assessment.
Marking Guide (Grading)
After achieving competency we then grade your performance in the unit and you will achieve one of the following grades:
Final Grades Table:
CHD Competent with High Distinction
CDI Competent with Distinction
CC Competent with credit
CAG Competency Achieved- Graded
NYC Not yet competent

Further information regarding the application of the grading criteria will be provided by your teacher.
