Assessment Tasks
The assessments are 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.
Assessment 1: Practical Test
Assessment 2: Lab Work
Assessment 3: Assignment
To be deemed competent, student must achieve satisfactory (S) results in ALL assessments.
This course is graded as Competent or Not Yet Competent and subsequently the following course grades are allocated:
CA - Competency Achieved
NYC - Not Yet Competent
DNS - Did Not Submit for Assessment.
Assessment Due Dates
All assessment tasks will have a due date provided and published in Canvas. Assessments submitted after the due date will not be accepted unless an extension has been provided or special consideration has been granted.
Assessment Resubmissions (if Unsatisfactory)
You will be allowed 1 (ONE) resubmission attempt FOR EVERY ASSESSMENT (if unsatisfactory). You will be provided with a new due date by your teacher for your resubmission attempt if a resubmission is required.
If you do not submit your assessment (First attempt) by the due date you will not be eligible for resubmission if unsatisfactory.
