STUDENT TESTIMONIALS

  • I have just graduated from my Certifiate III in Early Childhood Education and Care and I am currentely studying the Diploma. Shafston is helping me to develop my knowledge and skills in the Child care sector through teachers and staff who are professionals, friendly and helpful. The classess are challenging and the campus is beautiful with a great green area and an awesome view to the river. The staff assisted me with finding vocational placement in a childcare centre and helped me with all the arrangements. Thanks to my vocational placement, I have already started to work in the childcare industry.

    Ana Maria ~ Spain

  • What I liked about Shafston was the small class sizes. This allowed the teachers to help each student and it made it easier to ask questions. The teachers would always give me advices on how to improve my English which helped me gain more confidence. Although I had a lot of difficulties with my English, I was able to improve my understanding from the supplementary classes where I received one-on-one lessons from my teacher.

    Misa ~ Japan

  • Shafston’s campus and teachers are amazing! I love the fact that there are many different cultures and students here. Back home, there were only two international students in my class. The teachers used very traditional teaching methods. Our entire day was basically writing down notes, which were hard to understand and extremely boring. I really appreciate the conversations I can have with my teacher at Shafston, rather than reading and writing notes all day.

    Shela ~ Malaysia

  • I was really happy with Shafston when I got here. Compared to classrooms back home, it was a complete difference. Classrooms in Taiwan are extremely boring and based highly on information and recall. There is no time for conversations, only time for absorbing information. It was really robotic. I love how Shafston offers conversational learning! I have time to discuss topics with my teacher and classmates, which is a lot more interesting than writing down theory. I also love the environment here. The campus is awesome.

    Mike ~ Taiwan

  • I currently study the Diploma of Business at Shafston, a very popular international college in Australia because of their multicultural community. It has a beautiful environment situated by the river, The classes are enjoyable and attending my classes has also helped me improve my English.

    FeiQuo ~ China

  • Very much valuable. The course is designed in a manner that learning is not limited. I am gaining lot of knowledge through the course. The assignments are really good as they help the students to think out-of-the box and answer. I am very happy doing this course as I am gaining a lot of insight. Also, professionalism and the support being extended by my tutor is really great and I am thankful to Gael.

    Abhayjot ~ India

ASSESSMENT

“The process of collecting evidence and making judgements on whether competency has been achieved to confirm that an individual can perform to the standard expected in the workplace, as specified in a training package or a VET accredited course.”  https://www.asqa.gov.au/standards-vac/definitions


Your Shafston teacher will formally assess your skills, knowledge and understanding.   Assessment is competency based, this means you will be required to show / demonstrate the required competencies for the units of competency you are studying.

In order to ensure that Shafston’s assessment is valid, reliable, flexible and fair, Shafston trainers will conduct assessment as per the assessment conditions for each unit of competency you are studying. 

There are many different types of assessment.  Multiple and varied assessments are used to ensure that learners are able to demonstrate competency.  We will ensure that the assessment is conducted in a manner that is fair, flexible, valid and reliable. 

The portal has the following sections Activities, Questioning, Project, and Observation which span across these different tasks.   Some of the assessment tasks are ‘stand-alone’ or they may be a combination of these methods of assessment.


There may be

• Written tasks

Written assessments include case studies, question-answer type tasks, written reports and assignments, including reflective evaluations, self-evaluations,  project work, demonstrations and class presentations.

• Examination

This includes written or spoken ‘question-answer’ type tasks in an examination. 

• Observation

Your teacher will observe your performance of tasks in real or simulated workplace environments.  This includes participation in role-plays, group discussions and demonstrations of practical skills and knowledge.  Students on vocational placement will be observed by a qualified professional.

• Vocational Placement

Vocational placement provides the opportunity to observe professionals in your vocation, gain skills specific to your vocation, engage and interact with your community, and most importantly, to apply what you have learnt in the classroom to the ‘real-world’ vocational environment.  You will be mentored and supported by an industry professional and have a valuable opportunity to learn in a structured workplace environment.  Your teacher as well as the industry professional will both observe your ability to apply the skills, knowledge and attitudes required in workplace situations and environments.
