Students are required to complete a range of assessment tasks throughout the training period to
demonstrate competency in each relevant unit.
Attempting assessment tasks
You are required to provide appropriate responses to the indicated questions.
Assessment Outcomes
The Early Childhood Education and Care training packages are vocational qualifications that are
competency based. For each assessment undertaken you will be assessed as Satisfactory or Not
Satisfactory. Where you are assessed as ‘Not Satisfactory’ the trainer/assessor will provide you with
feedback and guidance regarding what needs to be completed for resubmission.
Reasonable Adjustment
Students may apply for reasonable adjustment to assessment tasks. If you feel ‘reasonable adjustment’
may apply to you, please discuss further with Rise Education and Training.
Accessing Required Readings
Students will need to access the Required Readings throughout the assessment process. These readings
provide important underpinning knowledge and key information to help students provide appropriate
responses to assessment tasks. It is important that each student reads these to build a better
understanding of the Early Childhood requirements and how to effectively contribute to the Education and
Care of young children.
Students are able to access these readings online via hyperlinks under the Required Readings heading on
this document or in your USB at the commencement of each question provided by Rise Education and
Training.
Approach to assessment decisions in relation to assessment
Evidence of competency will be collected on a continuous basis throughout the unit. Assessments are to be
submitted as per the delivery plan provided to you at orientation/induction. You are required to attend
scheduled classes as per the delivery plan, including working on assessments during scheduled class time
and submitting assessments on time.
You will be given the opportunity to build the required knowledge and skills through training before
attempting the associated assessment task. To achieve competency in a unit, you must satisfactorily meet
all the requirements of all assessment tasks.
Rise Education uses the following assessment outcomes to make judgement for an individual assessment
task:
Satisfactory (S), or
Not Satisfactory (NS)
Rise Education uses the following codes to record an outcome for a unit of competency:
Competent (C)
Not Yet Competent (NYC)
Credit Transfer (CT)
Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)
Re-Submission of an Assessment Task
You will be eligible for re-submission, if after being assessed, further evidence is required to be deemed
Satisfactory (S).

You have 3 opportunity to re-submit. If you cannot satisfy all the requirements of the assessment after
resubmitting they will be required to re-enrol in the unit of competency.
Prior to any resubmission, you will be given feedback on the evidence they have already provided and/
guided as to the additional requirements to deem them satisfactory for the assessment task.
Re-submission of any part (question/s) of a re-assessment may be in writing and evidence must be included
with the original or completed submission.
Your trainer may choose to verbally question you to gain more evidence of your understanding for a
question which you do not answer successfully on the first attempt. The answers you provide verbally will
then be added in the assessment and a record of this verbal questioning will be added by your trainer in the
comments section on the assessment.
Reassessment
If you don’t qualify for a re-submission or still deemed Not Satisfactory (NS) after a re submission, you will
need to re-enrol and undertake further training before a re-assessment can occur.
Demonstrating Competency
To demonstrate competence, you must complete all assessment tasks. Each task is linked to specific
competency element/s or critical aspects of assessment. Satisfactory completion of all assessment tasks for
a unit of competency will generate a Competent (C) result.
Workplace Observation Assessment
As part of your assessment for this unit(s), your Assessor will organise a time and date to visit you at
legislated child care setting to observe you demonstrating your skills in your workplace that reflect
elements and criteria of this unit(s) of competency.
