You need to be proactive and apply for these credits at the same time you are completing your Award. Applying for these credits will require you to complete the relevant assessment. Some of the assessments have an observation or feedback element that needs to be witnessed and completed in the moment by an adult or peer, therefore participants cannot apply for credits after they have completed their Award. Please note: the adult or peer cannot be a family member.
The cost to have each assessment checked and signed off by our external provider, Capital Training, is $11 for a 2 credit unit standard, $16 for a 3 credit unit standard and $21 for a 4 credit unit standard.
If you do not pass your assessment the cost for a second Marking is $5 for a 2 credit unit standard, $7 for a 3 credit unit standard and $10 for a 4 credit unit standard.. You will be provided with written comments of why your assessment failed and what you need to do to pass.
Following is a comprehensive list of the credits you can apply for at each level of the Award. You can pick and choose which assessments you want to do, you're not required to do all of them. These credits are pass/fail and will only appear on your record once passed.
Please note that these assessments are specifically designed for Award participants only, you are only eligible to complete these assessments if you are currently doing the Award.

There are a range of instances where this may happen; with your assessor, during the preparation phase of your Adventurous Journey, as part of your service or in relation to a physical activity. This assessment requires you to be observed participating in an informal meeting. It is good practice to film this, however if that is not viable you can give your observer (the other participant in the informal meeting) the Observer’s Checklist which when completed will be sufficient evidence.
