Our CHCCCS020 course assessment tasks are competency-based, so you need not worry about a pass or fail outcome. We use various methods to assess your behaviour support skills and capabilities, such as:

  • Q&As – written answers to hypothetical scenarios or questions.
  • Product-based assessment tasks – e.g. mock reports.
  • Role play activities – video evidence required.

MAT recognises the significance of practical experience. In addition to the theoretical aspects of the course, we incorporate role-playing exercises into certain learning areas. These activities benefit your studies by offering an engaging and interactive means to collaborate with other participants, including your family, friends, or colleagues while simulating real-life scenarios.

We allow up to three attempts for each assessment to promote plenty of opportunities for success. Your trainer will provide comprehensive written feedback to enhance your understanding of and improve your managing challenging behaviour skills.

All students are allocated up to 8 weeks to complete their course. However, you can complete the work sooner if you wish.
