HOW ARE YOU ASSESSED?

ASSIGNMENTS

Before participating in the TSA Tax Agent Program, you will be required to complete some preliminary assessments which include a Language, Literacy and Numeracy (LLN) Test and a Work Health and Safety Assessment. Please note it is now also a requirement of the Financial Services Training Package that your oral communication skills be assessed as part of your course. This will require the submission of a voice recording of a role-play conversation between yourself and others (further details will be provided upon enrolment).

There are two or three assessments per unit, comprised of short answer and multiple choice questions derived from the required textbook(s). If a question in a submitted assessment is incorrect, you will have the opportunity to reattempt the question following feedback from the assessor. Once all questions are correct, you are given a grade of ‘Competent’.

EXAM

The Tax Practitioners Board requires an exam component as part of the unit assessments. These three hour open-book exams contain short answer and multiple choice questions very similar to the assignments. Exams can be undertaken at any location and time of your choice, providing you have a nominated supervisor present. This person can be any person of responsibility such as a registered tax agent, member of an accounting professional body, public servant, doctor, nurse, police officer etc.
