Assessment must ensure

competence is consistently demonstrated over time and over a range and variety of complex situations

access to required assessment facilities and resources

Method of assessment

A range of assessment methods should be used to assess practical skills and knowledge The following examples are appropriate for this unit

direct questioning combined with review of portfolios of evidence and thirdparty workplace reports of onthejob performance by the candidate

review of applied projects or learning activities relating to the research

direct observation of contextual application of skills

oral or written questioning to assess knowledge of constructing and implementing advanced vocational education and training learning practice

Guidance information for assessment

Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector workplace and job role is recommended for example
