Aviation Placement is designed to provide you with practical experience in the application of theoretical concepts and knowledge in a host organisation in Australia that has relevance to your career goals. The number of hours expected over the course of the unit is up to 240 hours. You will be assessed on the completion of specific work during your placement that is of mutual benefit to you and the organisation. You must work with your placement provider to complete a placement plan that is beneficial to the provider and of sufficient technical content to meet the academic requirements of the course. During the placement, you will go out into the workforce to apply and practice the skills and knowledge you've gained at CQU. Placement prepares you for accreditation as a professional in your field and supports you to be 'work ready' when you leave university.

Assessment Overview
Assessment Grading
This is a graded unit: your overall grade will be calculated from the marks or grades for each assessment task, based on the relative weightings shown in the table above. You must obtain an overall mark for the unit of at least 50%, or an overall grade of ‘pass’ in order to pass the unit. If any ‘pass/fail’ tasks are shown in the table above they must also be completed successfully (‘pass’ grade). You must also meet any minimum mark requirements specified for a particular assessment task, as detailed in the ‘assessment task’ section (note that in some instances, the minimum mark for a task may be greater than 50%). Consult the University’s Grades and Results Policy for more details of interim results and final grades.
