Training and assessment

There are a combination of assessment activities and tasks requiring written responses. Activities require short answers and are designed to test knowledge. Assessment tasks provide scenario’s that require you to demonstrate you can transfer the knowledge into relevant workplace situations.

Completed assignments are uploaded onto the website for marking – there is a 2mg upload limited, or you can email your assignment to us.

Assessment is competency based, ie you are either competent or not yet competent. Assessment is conducted within approximately 48 hours of submission.

You may be eligible for recognition of prior learning (RPL). RPL is the formal recognition that your current knowledge and skills meet the requirements of a given unit of competency. It does not matter how you achieved your current level of knowledge and competence – formal training, on-the-job training, self study, work experience, life experience. What does matter is that you are able to provide evidence that your knowledge and competence meet the requirements of a particular unit of competency (competency standard). When you have provided this evidence and it has been accepted as proving your knowledge and skill in a particular area, you will be given credit for a specific competency without having to engage in further study.
