Overview of Assessment

Students must demonstrate an understanding of all elements of a particular competency to be deemed competent. Assessment methods have been designed to measure achievement of each competency in a flexible manner over a range of assessment tasks:

  • assessment of written marketing plans outlining marketing strategies and tactics to be used in achieving organisational marketing objectives
  • demonstration of techniques used to develop marketing strategies in conjunction with relevant persons
  • direct questioning combined with review of portfolios of evidence and third party workplace reports of on-the-job performance by the candidate
  • observation of presentation of marketing plan to relevant persons
  • oral or written questioning
  • review of testimony from team members, colleagues, supervisors or managers.

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.
