Training is delivered in two sections:
The course uses a blended learning approach, including face-to-face exercises, workplace simulations, and integrated knowledge assessments, ensuring students gain the competency, confidence, and safety awareness needed to operate the equipment effectively in the workplace.
Assessment is conducted by qualified assessors using a combination of tools and methods, in accordance with the principles of assessment (fairness, flexibility, validity, reliability) and the rules of evidence (valid, sufficient, current, authentic). Students will be assessed as either Competent or Not Yet Competent based on their performance against the unit requirements. Assessment methods may include:
If you are assessed as Not Yet Competent (NYC), you will have the opportunity to be reassessed. You may contact Host Safety and Training (RTO 40772) to arrange your reassessment. A reassessment fee may apply.
Reassessment will focus only on the part of the assessment that was not successfully completed.
Reassessment must be completed within 60 days of the original assessment.
If the 60-day period lapses, the full assessment may need to be repeated.
You will receive feedback and support to help you prepare for reassessment.
