What method of assessment should apply

Assessors must be satisfied that the person can consistently perform the unit as a whole as defined by the Elements Performance Criteria skills and knowledge A holistic approach should be taken to the assessment

Assessors should gather sufficient fair valid reliable authentic and current evidence from a range of sources Sources of evidence may include direct observation reports from supervisors peers and colleagues project work samples organisation records and questioning Assessment should not require language literacy or numeracy skills beyond those required for the unit
