Course Structure

Assessment

The intention of this course is to define a viable and valued workplace outcome. Students completing any associated training course should be able to effectively perform a substantive work role.

The achievement of competence will be assessed by a range of methods aiming at maximum flexibility and customization to address specific needs and learning situations: observation of ongoing activities, short formal and informal tests, presentation of portfolios, role plays, observation of group discussion.

Students will undertake informal assessment on an ongoing basis. This assessment will be used by the teacher to monitor student progress and to provide appropriate feed back. The informal assessments do not contribute to the results achieved by a student. Students should be aware that all competency based tasks must be completed by the submission date. If a student does not pass their formal competency based assessment then they have the right to be re-assessed before they commence their end of semester tests.

Requirements to Receive the Qualification

To receive the Certificate IV, students are required to successfully complete all units of competence. A qualification will be issued based on the successful assessment of all core units of competence and elective units.
