Assessment submission process, support and outcomes

Assessment Outcomes: Competent or Not Competent

For any learner who is unable to satisfactorily complete all assessment tasks, the assessor will attempt to make reasonable adjustments to the methods of assessment. If the learner is deemed not competent, they will need to re-sit the training course and additional fees will apply.

Recognition of Prior Learning

Students choosing to undertake RPL will need to be sent an RPL guide for their course.

In order to be eligible for RPL, the student must demonstrate currency in that particular subject. I.e. a student cannot submit evidence from 5 years prior and request it be applied directly to their new competency. They must show how they have since applied those skills and that they are current.

Course completion

Once assessed in all areas of the course and competency demonstrated, learners will be issued a Statement of Attainment for HLTAID011 Provide First Aid.

This Unit of Competency is Nationally Recognised from Health Training Package and it is recommended that it is updated annually by the Australian Resuscitation Council.
