# How to use Observations (Comprehensive)

As part of the requirements of receiving a competent mark for a unit, your Trainer may be required to complete a set of observations. These observations are a demonstration of your ability to complete the key performance criteria established by the Australian Government Department of Education, Skills and Employment.  

Your Trainer will liaise with you on when you will be required to demonstrate these observations and what supporting material or preparation work you may be required to complete.  

Observations can be found within each Unit Timeline. If there is no Observation listed, then it is not a requirement of the unit. You can access observation by either:
