Overview of Assessment

Assessment methods must confirm consistency, or the potential for consistency, of performance over time and in a range of workplace relevant contexts.

Assessment should be by direct observation or work and questioning on underpinning knowledge.

Assessment may be conducted over time and in conjunction with assessment of other units of competency.

Assessment may occur on the job or in a simulated workplace facility with relevant design inputs, staff, process equipment, simulated work procedures and deadlines.
