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
Assignment and Validation Final Exam
Written assessment on selection of equipment for general electrical installations involving following topics :
-Arranging electrical installations to comply with safety and other regulatory and functional requirements.
- Selecting appropriate type and size of cables.
- Selecting protection methods and devices that meet co-ordination requirements for overload and short circuit protection.
-Selecting switchgear and control gear that meet current, voltage and IP ratings and functional requirements.
Project
Satisfactory completion of prescribed practical exercises based on applications of Australian standards. Assessment activities will be as close as practicable to real work situations and will require “real work” type decision-making by the student.

Late submission:
Students requiring extensions for 7 calendar days or less (from the original due date) must complete and lodge an Application
for Extension of Submitable Work (7 Calendar Days or less) form and lodge it with the Senior Educator/ Program Manager.
The application must be lodged no later than one working day before the official due date. The student will be notified within
no more than 2 working days of the date of lodgment as to whether the extension has been granted.
Students seeking an extension of more than 7 calendar days (from the original due date) must lodge an Application for Special
Consideration form under the provisions of the Special Consideration Policy, preferably prior to, but no later than 2 working days
after the official due date.
