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 defining the parameters of the learning program, working within the vocational education and training (VET) policy framework, developing program content, and designing the structure of the learning program - in the VET context.
The assessor will discuss with you how your evidence can be assembled to show that you have met these requirements. You will be provided with a case study format to record your experience against the performance criteria. If you are seeking recognition for more than this single unit the case study may also integrate the requirements of this unit with a number of other units in the qualification.
You will also be provided with key knowledge questions to consider that will support your preparation for assessment in this unit.
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.
