Industry Based Learning

What types of assessment is used to determine your final HSC result? The VET Construction Curriculum Framework are competency-based.

For a student to be considered to have satisfactorily completed a course within the Construction Curriculum Framework there must be enough evidence that the student has:

• followed the course developed by the Board • applied themselves with diligence and sustained effort to the set tasks and experiences provided in the course by the school/RTO • achieved some or all the course outcomes • undertaken the mandatory work placement

Competency-based assessment focuses on the requirements of the workplace. Competence incorporates all aspects of work performance, including problem-solving and the capacity to apply knowledge and skills in both familiar and new situations. Assessment of competence involves the assessment of skills and knowledge combined.

Extra information:

• Mandatory work placement is required to successfully meet the Board of Studies requirements for completing the HSC. Students must complete a minimum of 70 hours of mandatory work placement. Two separate week blocks are allocated for students to complete 35 hours of placement. • Through the Registered Training Authority of the Broken Bay Diocese, we provide the AQF VET qualifications, CPC20211 Certificate II in Construction Pathways. • WHS Induction Training will be delivered by an external provider for students to attain the WHS White

INDUSTRY BASED LEARNING FACULTY: Technological and Applied Studies ATAR: No UNITS: 2 CATEGORY: BEC

This course is only available to School-based Apprentices not wishing to obtain an ATAR.

The purpose of this course is to enable students to demonstrate the additional knowledge, understandings, skills values and attitudes they develop from the on-the-job training component of a school-based apprenticeship or traineeship. It provides a degree of flexibility for school-based apprentices and trainees within the HSC. School-based apprentices and trainees are required to complete a minimum requirement of hours on-the job (varies depending on the type of apprenticeship or traineeship). In doing so students will have the opportunity to develop competencies towards their apprenticeship or traineeship as well as develop knowledge, skills values and attitudes related to enterprise, work and employability.
