USING THIS ASSESSMENT KIT

This assessment kit contains all of the assessment activities that will be used to confirm the candidate’s competency.

There are 4 sections in this assessment kit.

1. Knowledge Evidence
2. Performance Evidence
3. Assessment Summary and
4. Appendix / Templates

Section 1 is where confirmation of the underpinning knowledge for the unit is established. This activity can be completed by the candidate in their own time although a time limit should be established by the assessor consistent with the overall assessment needs for the qualification.

Section 2 is where the assessor records over time their observations of the candidate in carrying specific activities. In most instances these performances are benchmarked to the requirements of the unit of competency

Section 3 provides the overall assessment summary. Section 4 provides the organisational details for Section 2

All of the assessment activities must be successfully completed. Candidates will have two (2) opportunities to complete the assessment tasks successfully

This Assessment Kit is accompanied by a Marking guide (retained by the assessor) and the key difference between the two is: –

• the Marking guide provides the suggested responses and performance benchmarks whereas the candidate’s kit provides
• the instructions on what assessment activities need to be completed and where the assessment outcomes are recorded

The assessor needs one Marking guide only as its purpose is to benchmark the typical responses, characteristic performance attributes of the assessment criteria etc., to ensure consistency in the assessment decision. (Note should any improvements such as omissions or corrections are required please advise the RTO Manager for moderation)

Each candidate is provided with their own assessment kit, which is where the assessor records the assessment, its outcomes and any feedback.

When an assessment is completed, recorded and discussed, the completed activity and the record of the outcome is removed from the candidate’s kit and added to the student’s file.

RECORDING THE ASSESSMENT OUTCOMES

Assessors are to record their observations, feedback and determinations in the candidate’s assessment kit using the space provided.

Whenever the following panel appears in this kit, that page must be completed and thenremoved by to be returned to the RTO where it is kept with your records.

Note, any issues or misunderstanding about the intent of any question or task described in this document, needs to be referred to the Principal as part of the continuous improvement and moderation practices adopted by the RTO again using the space provided in the candidate’s assessment kit.
