Student Assessment

General Assessment Policies

Assessments are conducted throughout and at the end of the year. Assessments can be theoretical as well as practical. The end-of-year assessment is to see how much of the course students have understood and the knowledge they have gained. From day one students are assessed on punctuality, cleanliness, cleanliness of make-up kits, presented research material and teamwork ability.

Assessment is competency based and designed to determine whether the student can demonstrate the target competencies.

All assessment must meet the criteria of the training package. Assessment is undertaken in the college.

All assessment must be appropriate to the needs of students and program delivery methods. Assessment records are kept to monitor progress.

Assessment is in accordance with the National Assessment Principals and incorporates the principals and standards of the Australian Recognition Framework.

Assessors are required to:

Be fair and reasonable during assessment
Be familiar with the field and with the requirements of relevant industry standards.
Be up to date with assessment methods and procedures appropriate to the course.
Make proper assessment decisions based on explicit evidence of competency.
Systematically review the assessment evidence obtained through means such as interview, workplace assessment and performance tests.

Assessment Appeals Procedure

A student may appeal to the principle against an assessment decision. If after discussion it is felt appropriate, the student may request a re-assessment.
