Overview of Assessment |
8 .1 ) Longitude competency development approaches to assessment, such as Profiling, require data to be reliably gathered in a form that can be consistently interpreted over time. This approach is best utilised in Apprenticeship programs and reduces assessment intervention. It is the Industry's preferred model for apprenticeships. However, where summative (or final) assessment is used it is to include the application of the competency in the normal work environment or in a realistically simulated work environment. It is recognised that, in some circumstances, assessment in part or full can occur outside the workplace. However, it must be in accord with Industry and regulatory policy. Methods chosen for a particular assessment will be influenced by various factors. These include the extent of the assessment, the most effective locations for the assessment activities to take place, access to physical resources, additional safety measures that may be required and the critical nature of the competencies being assessed. The critical safety nature of working with electricity, electrical equipment, gas or any other hazardous substance/material carries risk in deeming a person competent. Hence, sources of evidence need to be 'rich' in nature so as to minimise error in judgment. Activities associated with normal every day work have a bearing on the decision as to how much and how detailed the data gathered will contribute to its 'richness'. Some skills are more critical to safety and operational requirements while the same skills may be more or less frequently practiced. These points are raised for the assessors to consider when choosing an assessment method and developing assessment instruments. Sample assessment instruments are included in the Assessment Guidelines of this Training Package. |
|
Critical aspects of evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit |
8 .2 ) Before the critical aspects of evidence are considered all prerequisites shall be met. |
|
Evidence for competence in this unit shall be considered holistically. Each element and associated Performance Criteria shall be demonstrated on at least two occasions in accordance with the "Assessment Guidelines - UEP06". Evidence shall also comprise:
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Context of and specific resources for assessment |
8 .3 ) This unit should be assessed as it relates to normal work practice using procedures, information and resources typical of a workplace. This should include:
Competency Standards should be assessed in the workplace or simulated workplace and under the normal range of workplace conditions. Assessment of this unit will be supported with documentary evidence, by means of endorsement stating type and application of work. |
|
In addition to the resources listed above in Context of assessment', evidence should show competency working, in limited spaces, with different types of plant and equipment as well as different structural/construction types and methods and in a variety of environments. |
||
Method of assessment |
8 .4 ) This unit shall be assessed by methods given in Volume 1, Part 3 Assessment Guidelines. Note: |
|
Concurrent assessment and relationship with other units |
