Assessment

Type of exam: Open book, multiple-choice exam. Exam questions are randomised, per person per sitting.

Score required to pass this module: 100%

Time limit: Unlimited

Number of exam attempts allowed: Unlimited

At completion of the modules and exams, all individuals are required to complete a Workplace Validation Report. The report covers the application of knowledge and skills in the workplace. For Deposit Products this must be demonstrated by an individual on at least one (1) occasion and for General Insurance this must be demonstrated on at least two (2) occasions with different clients and general insurance products. This means that each individual will complete either one (1) client interaction (if enrolled in Deposit Products), two (2) client interactions (if enrolled in General Insurance) or three (3) client interactions (if enrolled in General Insurance and Deposit Products).

Each Workplace Validation Report completed by a line manager or supervisor is reviewed and marked for final competency by a Kaplan Professional assessor.

If individuals are not working in the industry, or there is no suitable internal supervisor available, the assessment interactions will be conducted through roleplays with a Kaplan Professional assessor acting as the customer.

There are no fees payable if you choose to use a Kaplan Professional assessor for your roleplay, with the following two caveats:

  • A $50 fee is payable if you miss your roleplay appointment with the assessor.
  • You can cancel your appointment, but if you cancel more than twice within 48 hours of the scheduled appointment, each subsequent cancellation will incur a $50 fee.

Duration

Individuals have a total of 90 days to complete the assessment requirements for each subject.

The amount of training for this course is five to seven hours per week. The amount of training is the hours an individual can expect to spend engaging in structured learning or tutor-led activities.

The assessment hours for this course are five to eight per week. These are the hours an individual can expect to spend engaging in assessment activities.

In addition to the amount of training and assessment hours, individuals who are new to industry or vocational training could need between three to five hours per week known as unsupervised hours.

The hours above will vary depending on the Tier 2 subject, and also the experience of the individual. Individuals in industry may not need to utilise the unsupervised hours. Experienced Individuals who are working in industry may complete their course in a shorter timeframe if they are eligible for Recognition of Prior Learning and/or Credit Transfer (CT).

Additional study-related fees apply to formal extensions and re-enrolments. Please refer to the Vocational Education Fees schedule found here.

Please also refer to the Vocational Education and Training (VET) Enrolment Terms and Conditions here or the Student Handbook here for important information on subject activation and completion timeframes, extensions, and subject re-enrolment.
