Your allocated trainer and assessor will formally assess your skills, knowledge, and understanding. Assessment is competency-based, which means you will be required to show and demonstrate the required competencies for the units of competency you are studying.

To ensure that your assessment is valid, reliable, flexible, and fair, our trainers will conduct assessments according to the assessment conditions for each unit of competency you are studying.

Assessments have the following sections: Activities, Questioning, Project, and Observation, which span across these different tasks. Some of the assessment tasks are ‘stand-alone’ or may be a combination of these methods of assessment.

There may be:

• Written Tasks: Written assessments include case studies, question-answer type tasks, written reports, and assignments, including reflective evaluations, self-evaluations, project work, demonstrations, and class presentations.


• Observation: Your trainer will observe your performance of tasks in real or simulated workplace environments. This includes participation in role-plays, group discussions, and demonstrations of practical skills and knowledge. Students on vocational placement will be observed by a qualified professional.


• Vocational Placement: Vocational placement provides the opportunity to observe professionals in your vocation, gain skills specific to your vocation, engage and interact with your community, and, most importantly, apply what you have learned in the classroom to the ‘real-world’ vocational environment. You will be mentored and supported by an industry professional and have a valuable opportunity to learn in a structured workplace environment. Your teacher, as well as the industry professional, will both observe your ability to apply the skills, knowledge, and attitudes required in workplace situations and environments.


• Examination: This includes written or spoken ‘question-answer’ type tasks in an examination.


• RPL: You may already have the skills and knowledge. For more information about Recognition of Prior Learning Student Information, please discuss this with one of our team members.
