Overview of Assessment

For valid and reliable assessment of this unit, the competency should be demonstrated over a period of time and be observed by the assessor (or assessment team working together to conduct the assessment). The competency is to be demonstrated in a range of situations, which may include customer/workplace interruptions and involvement in related activities normally experienced in the workplace.
When assessing candidates, assessment techniques that allow a collection of evidence from relevant workplace experience should be used. Assessment against this unit may involve the following:
• continuous assessment in the workplace (observation), or a setting that simulates the conditions of a workplace (simulation), taking into account the range of variables affecting performance
• self-assessment of performance on the same terms as those described above
• interviews and/or provision of learning activities to check underpinning knowledge requirements
• supplementary evidence that may be obtained from relevant authenticated correspondence or reports from immediate supervisors or line managers.
