Introduction
The assessments in this workbook are divided into two categories: the Knowledge Assessment and the Practical Assessment.
The Knowledge Assessment is a set of general and workplace questions testing your knowledge and understanding of the general theory behind the unit.
You must answer all Knowledge Assessment Questions using your own words. However, you may refer to your Learner Guide and other relevant resources and learning materials to complete this assessment.
Some questions cover processes you will likely encounter in a workplace setting. Ideally, you should be able to answer these questions based on the processes that are currently in place in your workplace. However, if you do not currently have access to a workplace, then answer the questions based on processes that should be implemented in a typical workplace setting.
The Practical Assessment is made up of the Case Studies, Practical Assignment, and Workplace Assessment. This assessment tests your practical skills with respect to the requirements of the relevant unit of competency.
The Practical Assessment requires you to complete and submit workplace documents and other documentation relevant to the unit of competency.
The evidence you submit must be your own work except where due reference is made and where you are required to submit supplementary workplace documents such as policies and procedures.
The Unit of Competency
The units of competency specify the standards of performance required in the workplace. This assessment addresses the following unit of competency:
