Assessment Updates – Continuous Improvement in Action

Exemplar Services is continuing its commitment to high-quality training and assessment through ongoing improvements identified across our assessment materials.

Recent updates have been informed by feedback and outcomes captured within the LMS Assessment Validation and Continuous Improvement process. These updates reflect a collaborative effort across the sector to ensure assessment tools remain current, compliant, and aligned with industry expectations.

All relevant changes and supporting documentation are available via the LMS, and can be accessed on our LMS.

Continuous Improvement register

We encourage all Registered Training Organisations (RTOs), trainers, and assessors to review these updates and incorporate them into their delivery and assessment practices where applicable.

Maintaining the integrity and quality of assessment is a shared responsibility, and we thank all stakeholders who continue to contribute valuable feedback as part of this ongoing process.

Expanding Online Topic Skills Practices

Additional online Topic Skills Practices have been added to the Learning Management System to support student skill development and provide further opportunities for formative learning.

The new practices will be available by the end of next week and include activities for the following units:

  • UEEAS0004 Select electronic components for assembly
  • UEEAS0007 Assemble, mount and connect control gear and switchgear
  • UEECD0007 Apply work health and safety regulations, codes and practices in the workplace
  • UEECD0009 Carry out routine work activities in an energy sector environment
  • UEECD0019 Fabricate, assemble and dismantle utilities industry components
  • UEECD0020 Fix and secure electrotechnology equipment
  • UEECD0021 Identify and select components, accessories and materials for energy sector work activities
  • UEECD0034 Produce routine tools/devices for carrying out energy sector work activities
  • UEECD0038 Provide solutions and report on routine electrotechnology problems
  • UEECD0046 Solve problems in single path circuits
  • UEECD0052 Use routine equipment/plant/technologies in an energy sector environment
  • UEERL0001 Attach cords and plugs to electrical equipment for connection to a single phase 230 Volt supply

Students will access these skills practices directly within the relevant topic content pages in the LMS, allowing them to complete practical activities online and upload supporting evidence within the platform.

PDF versions of these practice activities will remain available for organisations that prefer a downloadable format.

The following units have undergone significant revision to reflect the updated cable selection requirements:

  • UEEEL0018 Select wiring systems and select cables for low voltage electrical installations
  • UEEEL0020 Solve problems in low voltage a.c. circuits
  • UEEEL0039 Design, install and verify compliance and functionality of general electrical installations

Units with Minor Updates

The following units have received minor amendments to ensure consistency with the revised Standard:

  • UEEAS0007 Assemble, mount and connect control gear and switchgear
  • UEEAS0009 Mount and wire control panel equipment
  • UEEEL0002 Apply currency of safe working practices and compliance verification of electrical installations
  • UEEEL0003 Arrange circuits, control and protection for electrical installations
  • UEEEL0012 Install low voltage wiring, appliances, switchgear and associated accessories
  • UEEEL0014 Isolate, test and troubleshoot low voltage electrical circuits
  • UEEEL0028 Conduct compliance and functional verification of electrical apparatus and existing circuits
  • UEEEL0040 Develop compliance policies and plans to conduct an electrical contracting business
