Overview of Assessment

The assessment is conducted in both the theoretical and practical aspects of the course, following the performance criteria set in the National Training Package.
Assessment methods may encompass a variety of approaches, including written and oral activities, as well as the demonstration of practical skills aligned with
relevant industry standards. Participants should be aware that they may be asked to personally demonstrate their assessment activities to their teacher or assessor.
Feedback will be consistently provided throughout the course.To successfully complete this course, you will be required to demonstrate competency in each assessment
task within this unit. Full assessment details will be provided and can be found on CANVAS.

Assessment Tasks

Assessment Tasks

Assessment 1: Lab work due in week 12
Assessment 2: Assignment, due in week 14

Students enrolled in Vocational Education and Training (VET) qualifications are assessed for competency. To be assessed as Competent means you have consistently demonstrated the required knowledge and skills to the standard expected in the workplace.

To achieve a Competent result in a course, students must complete all assessment tasks to a satisfactory standard.

The results used in courses delivered and assessed under competency-based assessment are:

CA – Competency Achieved

NYC – Not Yet Competent

Students must satisfactorily complete every assessment task to be deemed competent.

Students will have the opportunity to resubmit any assessment task deemed unsatisfactory, with a minimum of two resubmissions allocated per assessment.
