My understanding is the reason for "enhanced results" is to make culling the vast numbers that apply for these roles easier without effecting your ability to try again in the future if you do not meet a specific TOCs standard but pass to national level.

Does anyone know exactly what tests you need to pass to reach national level ?
All of them, although the DFFT isn’t included in the national level assessments, only Enhanced.

Ok it's pretty clear that some TOC's FOC's don't require you to do all the assessments , some will take National standard....... So for example if you did any first 3 assessments and 1 of the 3 was DFFT and you failed DFFT would you pass national standard ? No.

My question is which actual assessments are important enough for you to pass and achieve a national standard requirement ?
All the assessments can be put into different stages, if DFFT is your last assessment before MMI and you fail, clearly you probably would have achieved national level by then and another TOC, FOC would except assessments done and take you to MMI and wouldn't require DFFT.
Is completing stage1 national standard or stage 2 or stag1 and part of stage 2.some assessments are only done once you have gone past national standard.

Enhanced is just how well you did above the actual pass grade.
Like getting an A or A+ in an exam.

So does anyone know what exact assessments need to be passed to achieve national standard ?? As it's not all of them because some companys don't ask you to do all of them.

Just concentrate on passing them all. Don't try and single tests out as more important to pass than others to ensure an enhanced pass..... definitely the wrong mindset to have.

Rock up and attempt to pass absolutely everything. If you fall short of enhanced then you'll know the level you're obviously at.

No one truly knows what the official mark/score is for an enhanced pass anyway so why worry about it and try to put 2 and 2 together?

Morning mate.

I wouldn't worry too much as long as you've got the national pass that's the main thing. There's still loads of TOCs out there that deem it acceptable. Best of luck.

Ah ok , you worded it differently this time. You have to pass all the required tests wether enhanced or national. There are some additional tests that some toc's use and others don't. These are usually dfft , vse (visual search) and magnificent seven sjt .
