Assessment of this unit will be through the completion of a mandatory portfolio of evidence.
Assessment decisions for skills-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.
Criteria 3.1 and 3.3 requires the learner to provide performance evidence, however the opportunity to do this may not arise during the period of the qualification.
Other evidence to show that the learner would be able to do this if real work evidence is not available is permissible.
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.
