We do not believe in our students learning for the sake of passing their assessments. This is why the assessments structured for this course are conducted using a combination of realistic workplace simulated practical tasks and projects, written reports, and knowledge questions – NO EXAMS!

The following provides a brief explanation of the assessment methods that are to be applied:

• Knowledge Questions: The student is required to individually complete a set of questions. The student may research their answers from the course training materials and notes as well as relevant workplace references.
• Written Reports: The student is required to produce a range of written records or reports based on real workplace scenarios or based on a case study that is provided by the Assessor. This will usually require the student to consider carefully the situation presented, undertake some research to inform their response, and then to propose their recommended actions.
• Projects: The student is required to undertake a range of projects on a case study or scenario that is provided by the assessor. A project will require the creation of various workplace documents and these could include memos, reports, plans, etc.
• Practical Tasks: The student is required to demonstrate a range of skills whilst being observed by the assessor. This will usually require the student to consider carefully the situation presented, undertake some research to inform the response, and then demonstrate that they are able to complete the practical tasks through a role-play or presentation activity.
