The course is structured by a series of tasks that address the various aspects of each unit. These tasks will be completed and assessed as you progress through the course. Your trainer will give you guidance on how to complete the assessment tasks and also provide you with feedback on your assessment tasks throughout the course.

The assessment is competency based. This means that you will be graded as 'competent' (C) or 'not yet competent' (NYC). If you are graded NYC you will be given another opportunity for reassessment and will be provided with specific feedback on areas needing improvement. You need to be assessed as competent in all of the assessment tasks in order to be awarded a fully accredited Certificate IV in TESOL.
