For our very first episode, we will be discussing one of the hottest topics in VET, and one of the most important subjects in education – assessment. Assessment has long been recognised as a crucial component of a strong and quality VET sector, but the quality of assessment seems to have been a concern in the Australian VET sector for a long time now.
