Any appeal against an assessment decision is managed in strict confidence.
Practical Assessment Methods
Some of the practical assessments for this unit may be completed by the following methods:
- Providing workplace evidence: The workplace evidence must meet the performance requirements as stated in the practical task.
OR
- Performing the task: In case you cannot provide workplace evidence you may perform the task.
OR
- A combination of assessment methods may be used.
Evidence
Look for evidence that meets the requirements for multiple tasks. If you can provide evidence that covers several tasks it will minimise time spent searching for and compiling multiple forms of evidence.
Evidence must also meet the following criteria:
- Validity:Evidence must show that you have the skills, knowledge, and attributes to be deemed competent in the unit of competency.
- Sufficiency:The quality, quantity, and relevance of the evidence you submit must the demonstrate your competency.
- Currency:We prefer current proof of competence so please submit recent documentation as evidence. As a rule of thumb, evidence from the last two (2) years is preferable. Discuss this with your Assessor. Academic training and qualifications older than two (2) years may be submitted to demonstrate knowledge of vocational education and training.
Practical tasks
The practical tasks for this unit comprise a combination of assessment tasks. These include:
- Receive and log laboratory samples
- Prepare samples for testing
- Distribute samples
- Respond to and report spills.

- The units of competency are divided into smaller elements and performance criteria that is, specific tasks you will be asked to show you can do. You must be observed in your workplace and assessed as being competent by your Trainer/Assessor, assisted by your Workplace Supervisor and any other relevant observer.
- Assessment is not graded. It is either: Competent or Not Yet Competent
- To be considered competent, you need to demonstrate skills: consistently, and to the standard required.
- Your Workplace Supervisor and your Trainer/Assessor will both be involved in teaching and assessing you in the workplace throughout your traineeship.
- If you do not keep up the expected standard after being assessed as competent, youre Workplace Supervisor and your Trainer/Assessor can, in consultation with you, reverse the assessment after you have been notified
- It is the Participants responsibility (your job) to check that all competencies have been signed off by your Trainer/Assessor and Workplace Supervisor before you submit your Training Record to your Trainer/Assessor for final assessment.
