Context of and specific resources for assessment

Where possible assessment should be based on demonstrating the application of relevant theories on real examples of work assignments and situations Where this is not possible worklike scenarios and examples should be the basis of assessment for a minority of applications

Assessment should be conducted on evidence from a range of work and client settings conditions and requirements reflecting the reasonable expectations for a working practitioner

Assessment should be based not only on knowledge of a range of theories but on evidence of the applicability of a theory to particular work assignments and the impact of the theory on the examples of practice
