  2. Recognising Competency • A process based on peer and self assessment, interviews, and observation of work performance • Supported by evidence – paper based workplace documentation, photos, etc

  3. Task Based Assessment • Focus on jobs in the workplace • Focus on information contained in the Evidence Guide of the Unit of Competence: Critical aspects – self assessment Required knowledge – interview Elements – demonstration

  4. Skills Recognition Assessment Tool Development • Involve industry • Cluster Units of Competency for a holistic approach to assessment • Map assessment against units (matrix)

  5. Remember………….. A Unit of Competency • Is not easily understood by the candidate or employer • Is not the assessment tool • Is used by the assessor to make a judgement • Is the benchmark

  6. Why??? • Generally Skills Recognition applicants do not know: • What a Unit of Competency is • What is involved in a qualification • What competency based assessment is

  7. Where to start? • Self assessment based on the critical aspects of evidence • Written in plain English – not Training Package speak • Based on job roles and tasks

  8. Next step…. • Self assessment completed by candidate • Interview with assessor – questions based on underpinning/essential knowledge • Demonstration of tasks in the workplace or simulated workplace • Supported by evidence provided by the candidate

  9. Making the Judgement • Gather the evidence holistically around job roles and tasks • Make the judgement against the Units of Competency

  10. What assessment tools should you develop? • Self assessment checklist • Question bank based on tasks • Workplace projects • Observation checklist • Third party evidence proforma • Portfolio of evidence instructions

  11. Assessing………… The quality of the evidence is important – not the quantity! Use professional judgement but have sufficient records to back up your decision.
