ASSESSMENT GUIDE

ASSESSMENT INFORMATION for students
Throughout your training, we are committed to your learning by providing a
training and assessment framework that ensures the knowledge gained through
training is translated into practical on-the-job improvements.
You are going to be assessed for:
 Your skills and knowledge using written and observation activities that
apply to the workplace.
 Your ability to apply your learning.
 Your ability to recognise common principles and actively use these on
the job.
All of your assessment and training is provided as a positive learning tool. Your
assessor will guide your learning and provide feedback on your responses to the
assessment materials until you have been deemed competent in this unit.
HOW YOU WILL BE ASSESSED
The process we follow is known as competency-based assessment. This means
that evidence of your current skills and knowledge will be measured against
national standards of best practice, not against the learning you have
undertaken either recently or in the past. Some of the assessment will be
concerned with how you apply your skills and knowledge in the workplace, and
some in the training room as required by each unit.
The assessment tasks have been designed to enable you to demonstrate the
required skills and knowledge and produce the critical evidence to successfully
demonstrate competency at the required standard.
Your assessor will ensure that you are ready for assessment and will explain the
assessment process. Your assessment tasks will outline the evidence to be
collected and how it will be collected, for example; a written activity, case study,
or demonstration and observation.
The assessor will also have determined if you have any special needs to be
considered during assessment. Changes can be made to the way assessment is
undertaken to account for special needs and this is called making Reasonable
Adjustment.
What if I believe I am already competent before training?
If you believe you already have the knowledge and skills to be able to
demonstrate competence in this unit, speak with your trainer, as you may be
able to apply for Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL).
How should I format my assessments?
Your assessments should be typed in a 11 or 12 size font for ease of reading. You
must include a footer on each page with the student name, unit code and date.
Your assessment needs to be submitted as a hardcopy or electronic copy as
requested by your trainer.

How long should my answers be?
The length of your answers will be guided by the description in each assessment,
for example:
Type of Answer Answer Guidelines
Short Answer 4 typed lines = 50 words
Long Answer 8 typed lines = 100 words
Brief Report 500 words = 1-page typed report
Mid Report 1,000 words = 2-page typed report
Long Report 2,000 words = 4-page typed report
How should I reference the sources of information I use in my assessments?
Include a reference list at the end of your work on a separate page. You should
reference the sources you have used in your assessments in the Harvard Style.
For example:
Website Name – Page or Document Name, Retrieved insert the date. Webpage
link.
For a book: Author surname, author initial Year of publication, Title of book,
Publisher, City, State

current and future programs in its portfolio. The purpose of this project is
to centralize Acme’s programs onto one common management platform in
order to improve the management, resource allocation, and prioritization
of its various programs. As a small company, Acme Consulting has
historically been challenged with limited resources for managing its
various client programs. As a result, some programs have experienced
delays, exceeded their budgets, or have not properly met their
deliverables. By implementing the PMD Project, Acme Consulting can
better leverage its limited resources by establishing program priorities,
allocating resources in a more efficient manner, and providing proactive
management oversight to help in identifying and mitigating risks before
they adversely impact programs. The successful implementation of this
project is expected to reduce Acme Consulting’s cost overruns and
schedule delays by 30%.
