General Assessment Information:
This information is designed to provide you with a full overview of the tasks you need to successfully complete to be deemed competent in this unit.
You must achieve a satisfactory performance in each of the assessment tasks in order to be deemed competent in the relevant unit. Where necessary, the assessment tasks are divided into parts or steps. These are designed to take you through a step by step approach to completing the activities.
Instructions:
First and foremost, please contact your assessor to discuss any necessary adjustments that may need to be made prior to completing these tasks. The instructions for each of the assessment tasks are logically sequenced. If you have any questions, contact your assessor immediately. If there is a practical component to your assessment, you will need to discuss the arrangements for its completion with your assessor in advance.
Assessment Cover Sheet:
Once you have completed all of the tasks, complete the Assessment Cover Sheet, sign the declaration and forward along with your documentation to your assessor. It should be uploaded along with the assessment on to the RTO manager.
1.Written Questions:
For this assessment, you are to read the questions and respond in writing with the most suitable answer. There are six questions, all of which must be completed. Most questions require short answers although some questions require a more detailed response. You may use various sources of information including workbooks, internet and other documents, but must list and reference their sources. Your assessor will advise you when this is due.
2.Project:
This is a major project in five parts in which you are to participate in the management of a project. You are given the choice of a real project to manage such as a charity raising function or a student event. In order. You are to organise and manage this as a proper project with a project plan, budget, record keeping, meetings and reports. In order to do this, you will need to form a team of 6 – 8 classmates who will form the Project Management Committee (PMC) and will meet together at various stages throughout the project. You should take it in turns to chair the meetings and lead group discussions. You will all write up the project documentation. Your trainer will allow you time to hold meetings.
Important: you will work as a team to manage the project and make decisions about the project plan, the progress report and the final report. However, each person must complete and submit the written tasks individually for the purpose of assessment.
There may be some ‘doubling up’ and similarity between documents submitted, given the group consultation, but it is important that individually, students complete each of the written tasks of the project.
As this is a real project it will take place over a period of time. The final assessment will therefore take place at a significant period after commencement.
Your trainer will advise you of timelines for reports and final completion of the project.
You will be assessed against the criteria in the attached ‘Marking Guide’.
