Assessment Tasks

Assessment 1: Quiz

Assignment 2: Lab Test 1

Assessment 3: Lab Test 2

Assessment 4: Assignment

 

Students enrolled in Vocational Education and Training qualifications are assessed for ‘Competency’. To be assessed as ‘Competent’ means you have consistently demonstrated the required knowledge and skills to a standard expected in the workplace. To be assessed as Competent in a course, students will need to complete each assessment task to a satisfactory standard.  

Results that apply to courses that are delivered and assessed in accordance with competency-based assessments are:  

•         CA - Competency Achieved  

•         NYC - Not Yet Competent  

•         DNS - Did not submit for assessment.  

 

Students need to successfully complete all assessment tasks satisfactorily to be competent.

 

Students will have the opportunity to resubmit any assessment deemed unsatisfactory (a minimum of 1 resubmission is allocated per assessment).
