INFORMATION FOR STUDENTS

General Assessment Information

This information is designed to provide you with a full overview of the tasks you need to successfully complete to be deemed competent in this unit.

You must achieve satisfactory performance in each of the assessment tasks in order to be deemed competent in the relevant unit. Where necessary, the assessment tasks are divided into parts or steps. These are designed to take you through a step-by-step approach to completing the activities.

Instructions

First and foremost, please contact your assessor to discuss any necessary adjustments that may need to be made prior to completing these tasks. The instructions for each of the assessment tasks are logically sequenced. If you have any questions, contact your assessor immediately. If there is a practical component to your assessment, you will need to discuss the arrangements for its completion with your assessor in advance.

Assessment Cover Sheet

Once you have completed all of the tasks, complete the Assessment Cover Sheet, sign the declaration, and forward along with your documentation to your assessor. It should be uploaded along with the assessment to the RTO Manager. Submitting Assessment Tasks All written assessment tasks must be typed and submitted with the provided cover sheet. Your trainer/assessor will tell you when assessments are due. It is your responsibility to ensure that assessment tasks are submitted on or before their due date. Extensions for individual assessment tasks may be negotiated with your trainer in specific circumstances. You must request this prior to the due date, and extensions due to illness will require a medical certificate. Extensions will be confirmed by your trainer/assessor. Where assessment tasks are submitted following the conclusion of the unit of competency without a medical certificate or extension, a late submission fee for each assessment task will be charged.
