responses to knowledge and skill questions based on the candidate’s experience

discussion of the candidate’s experience and current practice

specific evidence-gathering tasks in the form of completed case studies

provision of evidence of qualifications

observation conducted in the workplace

professional conversation conducted face-to-face


Assessment Tasks

For this Unit you need to provide evidence of competence in selecting appropriate training packages or accredited courses, analysing and interpreting the qualifications framework, analysing and interpreting units of competency and accredited modules, contextualising units and modules for client applications and analysing and interpreting assessment guidance - in a VET context.

The assessor will discuss with you how your evidence can be assembled to show that you have met these requirements.

The assessment timelines are negotiated between you and the assessor, however enrolments need to show an assessment result within RMIT reporting periods. Your assessor will provide you with details of this.
