ASSESSMENT PATHWAYS Assessment in vocational education and training (VET) can be undertaken via three different pathways: 1. In a learning and assessment pathway candidates for assessment attend learning sessions, participate in all activities and complete the assessments to a schedule usually arranged around the learning sessions. In this pathway candidates are usually guided by facilitators and have access to all resources, both in hardcopy and online. The advantage of this pathway is the development of skills, sharing resources and networking with other people working in the VET sector. 2. In an assessment only pathway the assessment candidate does not attend learning sessions but completes the assessments and submits them to the assessor at predetermined times. 3. In skills recognition pathway the assessment candidate does not usually attend learning sessions or complete assessments. Skills recognition is another form of assessment only pathway. However, it is through a different type of assessment called recognition of prior learning or RPL. PROGRAM OUTLINE: The course will be delivered in the classroom using a combination of one-on-one and group theory instruction and roles plays including practical assessment. Training sessions are trainer led. The course will go over 24 weeks, each unit to be completed by the end of each fortnight with a written assessment and a number of projects per unit to be conducted in class during the workshops. self paced study Face - to - Face Training The student s workload is spread across three main activities: Assessment Tasks Page 6 of 9
