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 should be conducted over time and may be in conjunction with assessment of other units of competency which together form a part of the job role

Context of assessment

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