Assessment

For Melbourne campuses

Assessment tasks will be designed to reinforce and extend knowledge and skill competence within set and controlled parameters in accordance with each unit’s learning outcomes and performance criteria requirements, including the setting of work based practical application tasks designed to provide evidence of competence outcomes, within periodic and scheduled timelines.

Students will be expected to demonstrate the following required skills and knowledge:

  • explosion-protection equipment - ex certification schemes;
  • flameproof (ex ‘d’) explosion-protection technique;
  • increased safety (ex ‘e’) explosion-protection technique;
  • non-sparking (ex ‘n’) explosion-protection technique;
  • intrinsic safety (ex ‘i’) explosion-protection technique;
  • pressurization (ex ‘p’) explosion-protection technique;
  • enclosures for dusts (ex ‘td’) - explosion-protection technique, and;
  • common characteristics of explosion-protection techniques.
