3. ASSESSMENT OVERVIEW Competency Based Training and Assessment The broad concept of competency is related to realistic work practices expressed as an outcome. Competency comprises the consistent application of knowledge and skills to the standard of performance required in the workplace. It embodies the ability to transfer and apply skills and knowledge to new situations and environments. Unit of Competency Guide The Unit of Competency Guide outlines specific assessment requirements for each Unit of Competency, number of assessments and due dates for assessments. Assessment Task Instructions Assessment Task Instructions explain in detail what is required to complete the assessment satisfactorily. It provides the instructions to perform the assessment task, the criteria that will be used to determine whether your performance is satisfactory, feedback and the results for that assessment task. Contact your teacher for further information. Reasonable Adjustment Reasonable adjustment may be required for some students with a disability or specific learning needs. Modification to the learning environment, or making changes to the training and assessment may be necessary to provide students with an equal opportunity to demonstrate competence. Reasonable adjustment may include - adapting delivery strategies; customising resources and activities; providing learning support; making information accessible at an earlier stage; modifying or providing equipment; adapting assessment strategies and conditions. If you have a disability or specific learning needs, please contact your teacher who can determine whether reasonable adjustment will be required in the learning environment and how the adjustments can be applied. Assessment Extensions You should complete/submit assessment items by the due date, unless an extension has been granted by your teacher. Extensions will only be granted due to personal illness, or for other extenuating circumstances. Formal requests for extensions should be submitted to your teacher in writing 48 hours prior to the advertised deadline where possible.
