Assessment

Multiple-Choice Questions
The course is broken down into small, manageable sections designed to improve your learning. At the end of each section is a multiple-choice assessment.
You are required to get all questions in a section before moving to the next section. You will be given feedback on questions you answered incorrectly.
You can review the learning materials during the assessment. You can take the multiple-choice assessments as many times as you need.
Written Questions
Read the question and type your answer in the box below. These questions draw from all parts of the course.
Video Assessment
The video assessment questions require you to video yourself responding to a variety of scenarios.
Why do we ask for this? As part of the national unit of competency, we need to be able to assess your ability to engage with children and young people who are experiencing abuse and neglect or are at risk of experiencing abuse and neglect. We are not evaluating your acting skills, we just need to ensure that you can complete the task as you would in the workplace.
You are required to be 100% visible in each video assessment. We match the person in the video, to the photo ID you upload during the ID verification process.
To complete the video questions, you need one (1) of the following:
- Smartphone with internet access and video camera.
- Webcam
Record in the LOWEST resolution possible. Detailed instructions of how to use the video software is provided in the course. It’s a breeze!
Students are given three (3) attempts to complete the final assessment and be marked ‘Competent’. If you do not pass your final assessment on your third attempt, you can purchase an additional three attempts to complete your final assessment. The cost to purchase an additional three attempts is $12.
Please also know that trainers are available at any time throughout your course to provide assistance should you need additional guidance and support.
