Overview of Assessment
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: Practical
Assessment 2: Practical
Assessment 3: Written Test (Part A, B & C)
These tasks assesses the following Course Learning Outcomes (CLOs):

Assessment 2: Practical 2 – Electromagnetic relays/Reed switches
Assessment 3: Test: Part A, Part B & Part C
To be deemed competent, student must achieve satisfactory (S) results in ALL assessments.
This course is assessed as Competent or Not Yet Competent and subsequently the following course results are allocated:
CA - Competency Achieved
NYC - Not Yet Competent
DNS - Did Not Submit for Assessment.
RESUBMISSIONS (for Unsatisfactory):
You will be allowed 1 (ONE) resubmission attempt FOR EVERY ASSESSMENT (for unsatisfactory) only if it constitutes a reasonable attempt.
You must make a reasonable attempt on each submission to be granted a resubmission.
What constitutes a reasonable attempt?
- A reasonable attempt would be attempting to answer all of the questions asked of you to the best of your ability.
- Leaving large sections of your work blank, or not submitting sections, does not show your teacher that you have enough of an understanding of the assessment to be deemed satisfactory, hence would not be considered a reasonable attempt.
- If you submit your work after the deadline without an approved extension from your teacher, it will not be considered a reasonable attempt.
Please note that if you are allowed a resubmission, a new due date will be provided to you (check your feedback carefully).
