Assessment Guidance

Assessment guidance:

Assessment decisions for skill-based learning outcomes must be made during the learner’s normal work activity.

Skills-based assessment must include direct observation as the main source of evidence and must be carried out over an appropriate period of time.

Any knowledge evidence integral to skills-based learning outcomes may be generated outside of the work environment, but the final assessment decision must show application of knowledge within the real work environment.
