Learners are required to have a supervisor in their community services/health field sign their third-party assessments to confirm tasks are performed in the workplace.

Subjects

There are three subjects in the CHCSS00087 Risk Management Skill Set.

BSBRSK501 – Manage risk
CHCLEG003 – Manage legal and ethical compliance
HLTWHS004 – Manage work health and safety

Assessment

There are no exams. Instead, you test your learning by completing quiz questions and open book self-paced assessment activities throughout each subject. All subjects include a free re-submission if you are not successful on your first attempt.

You may also complete a range of ‘on the job’ workplace-based assessments.

If you already have the skills and knowledge required to attain any (or all) of these subjects, you might like to enrol as ‘Assessment Only.’ This Recognition of Prior Learning means you don’t have to study those subjects again, instead just doing the assessments for a reduced course price.
