Why our integrated assessments mean less work for you
By CBD College · Reviewed by our training team · Updated 31 July 2024 · 2 min read
Instead of assessing each of the TAE40122's 12 units separately, CBD College uses a smaller number of integrated assessments that cover the required knowledge and skills across all the units together. Because the units relate to each other in the assessment, you're not being tested repeatedly on material that overlaps between units — which means less duplication and a faster path to your qualification.
The problem with assessing unit-by-unit
TAE40122 has 12 units of competency, and a lot of the knowledge and skills they cover overlap. An RTO that assesses strictly unit-by-unit ends up testing you on the same underlying material multiple times under different unit codes — which adds work without adding learning.
Our integrated approach
CBD College takes an integrated and practical approach instead. We've streamlined delivery down to 8 assessments that cover everything the 12 units require, linked together so the knowledge and skills relate to each other rather than sitting in isolated silos.
What that means for you
- Easier to understand — the material connects logically instead of repeating itself under different unit names.
- Less time spent on assessments overall, because you're not re-proving the same knowledge multiple times.
- A more efficient path through a genuinely large qualification (12 units is a lot).
Frequently asked questions
Does an integrated assessment mean I'm not properly assessed against every unit?▾
No — every unit of competency is still fully covered and assessed against the national standard. Integration changes how the assessments are structured, not what they cover.
How many assessments will I actually complete?▾
8 integrated assessments cover all 12 units in the TAE40122, rather than one assessment per unit.
