About this webinar:

Assessment issues continue to be one of the most common non-compliances identified in regulator audits. So, how do we avoid these?

In this 90-minute webinar we will look at some of the common assessment issues that are often found during validations and audits and provide some strategies for how assessors can avoid these issues.

We will cover performance assessment, observation, role plays and simulation, group assessment and more!

Coleen will explore and discuss how to identify issues with assessment systems before assessment occurs, how to avoid non-compliant assessment practices, and how to ensure your assessment decisions can withstand scrutiny.
