Method of assessment

This unit of competency could be assessed using the following methods of assessment

observation of processes and procedures

questioning of underpinning knowledge and skills

Guidance information for assessment

Assessment processes and techniques must be culturally appropriate and suitable to the language literacy and numeracy capacity of the candidate and the competency being assessed In all cases where practical assessment is used it should be combined with targeted questioning to assess the underpinning knowledge

Oral questioning or written assessment may be used to assess underpinning knowledge In assessment situations where the candidate is offered a choice between oral questioning and written assessment questions are to be identical

Supplementary evidence may be obtained from relevant authenticated correspondence from existing supervisors team leaders or specialist training staff
