Comment/Action
General comments provided on the
units of competency in the
CPP41212 Certificate IV in
NatHERs Assessment ‘…The
modules that have been modified
have been reformatted to increase
readability. They have removed
criteria that are rendered
superfluous by other criteria within
the same sections. Assessor
requirements have been added to
modules, making them seem more
professional. Required skills and
knowledge has been appropriately
renamed to Foundation Skills, and
Performance Evidence has been
expanded upon to give greater
detail of skills and knowledge
gained by completing modules.
Some small typographical errors
mar the professionalism that the
improvements bring to the
modules.’
