This assessment exercise will cover the outcomes required to achieve a competency certificate. The purpose of the assessment process is to gather enough evidence to prove all Course outcomes were achieved.
Competency will be assessed through class hands-on tasks recorded in POE, input and performance-based assessment, and assignments requiring a fair amount of research and observation in essential embedded knowledge. Assessment evidence should be sufficient to prove that the candidate is competent in all required tasks set by the course.
A summative assessment will be conducted at the end of the course to confirm assessment judgments. Principles of fairness, validity, practicability, reliability and consistency will be adhered to throughout.
