Catapult V5: inclusions, delivery and assessment

A Catapult V5 resource is a Catapult-authored learning and assessment package for one unit of competency. Learners, trainers and assessors use the resource through Catapult LMS.

V5 guidance, benchmarks and mapping are mainly held within the online resource. Check the exact unit because activities and dependencies vary.

Use V5 in your role

Decision-makers: Compare the actual V5 unit with the delivery and assessment model your RTO needs.
Administrators: Confirm the product type, unit release, enrolment and assessment access.
Quality and compliance: Review the embedded mapping with the online tasks and benchmarks.
Trainers and assessors: Work through each assessment area because most guidance sits online.

V5 learning content

Learners move through topics and pages containing explanations, images and checks for understanding. The checks are used for practice and preparation. Formal assessment activities collect the evidence used by the assessor.

V5 assessment and guidance

V5 units contain knowledge questions and performance-based assessment content. Instructions, benchmarks and assessor guidance are generally presented within the online resource.

Separate practical assessment, project checklist or mapping documents might not be supplied beyond the unit-information PDF. The absence of a separate file does not mean that guidance is absent. Look inside the assessment areas.

V5 mapping

V5 resources present unit mapping as an embedded table in Catapult LMS. Compliance and training staff should review the mapping alongside the actual questions, tasks, benchmarks and delivery conditions.

Confirm for the V5 unit

• training.gov.au unit code, package version and unit release
• catalogue status
• knowledge and performance assessment requirements
• location of benchmarks and assessor instructions
• learner submissions and supporting documents
• workplace, simulation, equipment and third-party requirements
• external websites or other dependencies

V5 should be assessed against your current unit, cohort, delivery model and organisational requirements. Its earlier product label does not establish suitability on its own.
