Participants will be advised of the assessment requirements at the beginning of each unit.
Assessment will usually commence in the session following delivery and may take considerable time to complete both the theory and practical requirements. As this is a competency-based program, assessment continues throughout the program until the participant either achieves competency in the assessment tasks or a further training need is identified and addressed.
The assessment process may consist of weekly, topic-related tests and an end of level test.
