review of resources developed in different formats by the candidate for a range of training resources

oral or written questioning to assess knowledge of the process for researching and creating training resources.

Guidance information for assessment

Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector, workplace and job role is recommended, for example:

Access must be provided to appropriate learning and assessment support when required.

Assessment processes and techniques must be culturally appropriate, and appropriate to the oral communication skill level, and language and literacy capacity of the candidate and the work being performed.

Where applicable, physical resources should include equipment modified for people with special needs.
