Students in this course work to develop the competencies, skills and knowledge described by each unit of competency listed above.

When a student achieves a unit of competency it is signed off by the qualified assessor.
Complaints and Appeals: Students may lodge an appeal about assessment or any other decisions through the VET teacher.
Optional HSC examination for ATAR purposes: The optional Higher School Certificate Examination is independent of the competency based assessment undertaken during the course and has no impact of the eligibility of the student to receive this AQF qualification.
