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 Task 1: Test 1
Assessment Task 2: Assignment
Assessment Task 3: Test 2
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.
