Method of assessment

Assessment methods must confirm consistency of performance over time and in a range of workplace relevant contexts

Assessment should be by direct observation of tasks and questioning on underpinning knowledge

Assessment may be in conjunction with assessment of other relevant units of competency

Context of assessment

Assessment may occur on the job or in a workplace simulated facility with relevant glass handling equipment materials work instructions and deadlines
