Evidence Required

The Evidence Guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria required skills and knowledge range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package

Overview of assessment

Assessment must address the scope of this unit and reflect all components of the unit Arange of appropriate assessment methods and evidencegathering techniques must be used to determine competency A judgement of competency should only be made when the assessor is confident that the required outcomes of the unit have been achieved and that consistent performance has been demonstrated

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

Evidence of the ability to

design develop and review learning programs within the VET context

prepare and develop a minimum of two learning programs

that contain differentiated learning program designs to reflect particular needs contexts and timelines

at least one of which must be based on competency standards or accredited courses and must cover at least one entire unit of competency or accredited course module

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Evidence must be gathered in the workplace whenever possible Where no workplace is available a simulated workplace must be provided

Method of assessment
