DURATION
This course is competency based which means that the candidate can complete it whenever
they can demonstrate competency in all of the units/subjects selected. Candidates will have
up to 52 weeks to fill any skill, knowledge or evidence gaps that are identified. 1200 hours is
the minimum notional duration of all activities required for the achievement of the learning
outcomes in this course and that volume of learning can be drawn entirely or partly from past
experience and prior learning where appropriate.
TRAINING / ASSESSMENT RESOURCES, METHODS AND TIMING
At MBC every candidate is able to discuss their existing experience, skills and knowledge and
review the requirements of their course with their assessor at the very beginning. This
empowers candidates to identify those requirements that they already meet and to focus and
train on those areas where gaps exist.
The candidate’s first interview/informal discussion with their assessor will be via telephone,
teleconference or in person during the first week of their course. The planned activity for the
first interview includes a review of key Australian workplace legislation and review of and
participation in assessment activities.
Candidates will be required to demonstrate their ability to meet the requirements described for
each unit of competency they are enrolled in over a range of situations and environments to
the standard of performance expected in the workplace. The units of competency and their
requirements can be accessed via the website www.training.gov.au by typing the unit code
into the Nationally Recognised Training search box on the home page of that site.
Interviews/discussions with candidates are conducted throughout the assessment process.
These are informal conversations based around what the candidate knows or has done. The
purpose of this is to help the candidate to source appropriate evidence against the standards
and to confirm the linkage between what they have done and what they know and the
requirements of each unit. This process is also used to determine the authenticity of any
evidence that is provided and to help plan appropriate ways to fill gaps that are identified.

beginning of the course which involve a range of assessment methods such as oral
questioning, written assessments, third party verification, practical observation and
examination of work product and portfolio evidence produced. Alternatively the candidate may
identify other suitable evidence that is already available. If an assessor asks a candidate to
demonstrate the performance of any of the described practical skills they will advise at that
time whether those will be part of the candidate’s normal workplace activities or a structured
activity set by the assessor and they will schedule a suitable time and place for this taking into
account any time needed for the candidate to fill any skill/knowledge and/or evidence gaps
found. Assessors will also at that time provide candidates with details of any conditions of the
assessment such as announced versus unannounced observations, period of observation
etc., and give them advice on the most appropriate method to use for collecting that evidence.
Assessment is based on the actual skills and knowledge that can be demonstrated in the
workplace. Trainers and assessors have flexibility and discretion in selecting assessment
methods and evidence gathering techniques to assess each unit of competency so that these
can be tailored to meet the varying needs of each candidate and to ensure the validity,
authenticity, currency and sufficiency of the evidence collected.
Assessors may refuse to conduct external site visits where it is not convenient or cost
effective for them to do so. Candidates have the option of attending an MBC approved facility
for testing at one of the following assessment session days/times in circumstances where
there are no other more suitable evidence gathering techniques/options available (eg. where
the candidate does not have suitable work environments and physical resources to be able to
demonstrate their skills): Mondays to Fridays 9am-2pm. MBC has approved testing facilities
available for this course on the Gold Coast.
Assessors will also provide guidance to help candidates to decide on appropriate methods for
gap training should there be skill and/or knowledge gaps identified during the initial
interview/informal discussion. There are many options available to help them to overcome any
gaps identified such as through the review of relevant Internet sites, videos and publications,
and through professional conversations and coaching and mentoring with experienced people
in their or some other workplace.
As this is an assessment only program MBC does not vouch that any training content
provided (or suggested) covers all of the requirements in the units/modules chosen and MBC
is not responsible for delivery or the cost of that training. Furthermore, training conducted at
and evidence gathered from a real or simulated workplace that a candidate has arranged that
has not been inspected by MBC to ensure a safe environment is done so at the candidate’s
own risk.
If the candidate needs assistance at any stage they can call or email their assessor via the
contact details provided to them. Their assessor will provide ongoing email, teleconference
and telephone guidance at the convenient times agreed upon to help them to focus on the
support that they need.

The assessor will review MBC’s standard assessment tools with the candidate at the
Schedule A below if this is deemed necessary by the assessor for further demonstration of
their skills. The attached Schedule A lists the suitable physical resources and environments
and the range of work required for candidates to undertake skills development for all of the
units selected in this course. As this is an assessment only program the candidate is
responsible for ensuring that they are able to access those workplace environments and
resources and that range of work should practical skills training be required for any gaps that
are identified.
ASSESSMENT ATTEMPTS
Candidates are entitled to up to two assessment review attempts after their first initial
interview and prior to the course end date. The candidate can submit evidence of their
competency at any time throughout the course. Traineeship program plans will identify due
dates for assessment on a unit-by-unit basis to help the trainee to progress through their
traineeship program. The assessor will review and provide feedback on evidence that has
been submitted within five working days of receipt of that evidence. The due date for
submission of all of the candidate’s assessment evidence is four weeks prior to the course
end date to allow time for assessment and feedback and another opportunity for assessment
where a Not Yet Competent decision has been made. Once the course end date expires no
more assessment evidence will be accepted unless a course extension has been granted.
OTHER SUPPORT
Every calendar quarter currently enrolled candidates are contacted by MBC Administration
and reminded about the support assistance available to them and surveyed in relation to their
satisfaction with the services provided by MBC. Candidates are also surveyed again in
relation to their satisfaction with the services provided by MBC on completion of their course.
