COURSE ASSESSMENTS
All Students
Students will access all on-line assessments via their aXcelerate Student Learner Portal.
There will be two types of assessments –
- Knowledge Review Assessments: will not count towards the final assessment, but must be completed before the student can move to the next section
- Final Assessments: will assess a student’s knowledge competence
Students are allowed three (3) submissions in total (initial submission and two (2) resubmissions) for each assessment.
If you are deemed to be Not Competent (NC) in a unit (after three (3) theory or three (3) practical assessment attempts, or due to disciplinary action) you will need to re-enrol in that unit and pay the unit enrolment fee to be able to re-attempt the unit assessment.
After an unsuccessful second submission, A QMTS Training Assessor may contact the student by phone to provide additional training to assist the student to complete the third submission, which may be conducted orally over the phone.
Practical Assessment
Prior to attending a practical assessment students must successfully complete all of their theory assessments.
Students are given 3 attempts, if required, at all practical tasks.
RECOGNITION PROCESSES
Learners can have their competency from prior learning and work experience recognised in this qualification through the following arrangements:
Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)
RPL is recognition of prior learning or skills obtained from previous study or work/life experience.
Learners, who through prior learning or experience believe they have gained competence in any of the skill areas, may be granted RPL upon substantiation of that claim.
QMTS Training offers RPL on enrolment and the trainer will work with the student to define the potential for a successful application process.
