Assessment criteria

The objective is for the student to show that they have achieved the Unit Competencies. Students may be assessed by one or more of the following methods:

• Observation – the completion of a specified task or set of procedures normally performed under close supervision, using a detailed checklist.
• Oral questioning – a response is provided to a series of questions presented in order to demonstrate understanding of principles or reasoning behind the action taken.
• Case study – an opportunity to display problem and decision making skills is provided in a simulated context.
• Multiple choice – a question or incomplete statement followed by several options (usually 4-5) from which the student selects the appropriate answer/s.
• Written short answer – a written response item consisting of a question/s with answers of a single word, a few words, a sentence, or a paragraph.
• Project – an exercise or investigation based on real life situation, generally requiring a significant part of the work being carried out without supervision, and involving the completion of a project report.
• Or any other method outlined in the student information book.

Students will be advised of the assessment methodology before training commences.
