Workplace assessment
Workplace training gives students the opportunity to develop practical job skills, such as interacting with people in a professional environment, developing communication skills, as well as an insight into particular job roles and responsibilities. Overall, students have found workplace training enhanced their chances of getting a job and succeeding at it.
As a mandatory part of this course, students are required to seek workplace training. Workplace training and assessment is the gathering and evaluation of evidence during normal work activities in order to determine whether a required element within a competency has been achieved.
Workplace assessment will entail a combination of recognition, observation, questioning, discussion and third party validation.
Following this, all students are required to provide a signed Pre-Assessment Interview form, Workplace Assessment form, Record of Outcome form and also the Workplace Agreement form to verify they have successfully demonstrated the practical components of each of the required competency outcomes. A qualified manager/supervisor must sign the forms as validation.
This is a government accredited course that meets the requirements of the Australian Quality Training Framework (AQTF) therefore you will need to complete this part of your studies in an Australian workplace.
