Assessment
Assessment Information
When you study with Australian Online Courses, you will be assessed using a competency-based training method.
Competency-based training focuses on the achievement of skills and knowledge against set criteria to meet industry-standard and is not benchmarked against other students’ work.
In this course, the assessment will be comprised of written assignments and exercises, which may include short answer questions, reports, essays, research projects and reflective tasks.
If you do not achieve a competency result on your first attempt, you have two more attempts to pass your assessment. So, you have three attempts in total to obtain a competency result.
In this way, you can complete your course in your own time and at your own pace with the assistance of unlimited tutor support.
Testimonials
This is the first online course I have done, I was worried at how I would go, but it went well. Having the printed book for reading and referencing made it easy. I didn’t need to access education guidance or support from tutors for this course. I am currently reviewing your site to see if there are other courses that I can enrol in. Thank you I have enjoyed this course
