The knowledge assessment of MARA007 will be both online (by multiple choice questions) and by observation in a real workplace with an experienced, qualified supervisor. Performance assessment will be conducted in the workplace during a loading/unloading activity.

Participants need to progress through the online training, during which information and activities will be provided to introduce the subject. Once a section is completed the participants will be required to complete a formative assessment on those sections.

At the end of the online training the participant will complete a summative assessment. This assessment will be multiple choice questions which reflect the knowledge assessment requirements.

Once participants have successfully completed the online program, the participant will need to undertake a practical cargo loading/offloading operations under the direction of a competent supervisor or assessor. In order for AMC Search to assess the participant, digital video footage, or photographs, of the participant fulfilling the performance requirements of the assessment will need to be provided in accordance with the Supervisors guide provided. This will then be assessed by a qualified assessor at the University of Tasmania.
