Hi Benjamin,
Before attempting this unit again, through re-enrolling, it would be a good idea to spend
some extra time learning about how Units of Competency are structured and what the
different parts within them. Being able to understand and interpret them is important for
developing learning programs and assessments to be trained and assessed. With a solid
foundation of knowledge through further learning, I have no doubt you’ll be able to move
ahead with your course.

ASSESSMENT TASKS
Before you begin these questions, I would like to take a moment to explain how they have been
constructed. If you understand their design, then you will better understand how the whole
course is constructed and how you can efficiently demonstrate your competency.
You will see a table, similar to the one below, at the start of watch group of questions.
Let’s look at what this tells us.
You are assessed against the benchmarks below.

three attempts.

In the above example, we can see that the task will allow you to demonstrate competency in not
just one part of the first unit, but in two parts of the first unit, three parts of another unit, and a
part of a third unit. What this means is that instead of having to do six separate tasks like many
TAE courses require, you do one task that has been designed to take their place.
The tasks can be completed in any order, although to make sense of the course and its
integrated nature, it is recommended to go through in the order in which they appear.

Vocational education training was one of the main ideas that the Australian government was

field of study. This education was mostly delivered to the youth by the clan elders. The
apprenticeship was born after training that was done the elders. This was catalyzed by the
emergence of diverse industrial occupations. The industrial revolution in Australia also led to
the growth of VET since it leads to emergence of cities and towns. This meant that there were
job opportunities in the country, hence skills were advanced skills were required. This was one
of the major reasons to the rise of formal vocational Education Training. Besides the growth of
towns and cities, there was also need to improve skills in the off-the-job vocational learning.
