Feedback from Unit Evaluation - Student responses

Some students noted that they found the first assessment difficult. This assessment requires students to observe a process in a workplace.

Students are informed that if they are not currently working they can approach any organisation to complete the first assessment. They are also encouraged to use this as an opportunity to engage with organisations within the industry they would like to work. This advice will continue to be provided to students and tutors will continue to emphasize this in their classes.
