Assessment by the College is competency-based. Competence implies that an individual demonstrates an understanding of the knowledge that is the basis of the practical task being carried out (i.e. having the required skills to carry out a specific role).

Student assignments are assessed based on whether or not the student has achieved the performance criteria for each element specified in the unit/s of competency they are undertaking (put simply, if you meet all of the learning criteria for a particular unit, you are competent in that unit). This method of assessment judges performance against a prescribed standard, not against other students. Students are assessed as 'Competent' or 'Not Yet Competent'.

Assignment submissions are assessed within five business days of submission. If your assessor grades your work as ‘Not Yet Competent’, they will provide feedback on what else they need you to address in your assignment before they can assess you as ‘Competent’. The best part? We don’t charge any resubmission fees for assessing, so you can resubmit as many times as you need to before being graded as ‘Competent’.
