Assessment is conducted individually using a variety of methods including written questions, projects, case studies, role plays, research, and reports. Students receive a Student Assessment Booklet for each unit of competency, which includes a full description of all assessment tasks, instructions, resources, and details about when and how to submit assessments.

All students complete a language, literacy and numeracy assessment to determine their learning support needs. Where additional support needs are identified, an Individual Support Plan may be developed, which can include mentoring from trainers, additional classes and tutorials, online support, computer and technology support, referral to external support services, and reasonable adjustment to assessments. Support is available for students experiencing disability and access issues, language barriers, employment issues, and any other issues affecting their ability to achieve their training goals.
