Pre-Use Assessment Tool Review

Assessment tools must be reviewed prior to use to ensure assessment can be conducted in a way that is consistent with the principles of assessment and rules of evidence.

Training and Assessment Strategies (TAS)

A TAS is a framework that identifies the structure for the way in which a training product is delivered to learners and the way assessment will occur.

Assessment - Standards 1.3, 1.4 and 1.5

Standards 1.3, 1.4 and 1.5 relate to the focus area of assessment.

Quality Area 1: Training and Assessment

Quality Area 1 comprises 4 focus areas and 8 standards that go to the quality of training and assessment delivered by RTOs.

Section 3: Credentials for Validation of Assessment

Section 3 of the Credential Policy specifies credential requirements for individuals conducting validation of assessment.

Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence

The Principles of Assessment and the Rules of Evidence guide assessors in making consistent, justifiable decisions about a student’s competency, regardless of their delivery context or learning pathway.

Section 1: Credentials for the delivery of training and assessment

Section 1 of the Credential Policy specifies credential requirements for individuals delivering training and assessment for all training products other than from the Training and Education (TAE) Training Package.

Validation

Validation is the review of the assessment system to ensure that assessment tools are consistent with the training product and the requirements of the Standards; and assessments and assessment judgements are producing consistent outcomes.

Section 2: Credentials for the delivery of training products from the TAE Training Package

Section 2 of the Credential Policy specifies credential requirements for individuals delivering training and assessment for training products from the TAE Training Package.

Mapping

Assessment needs to be fit-for-purpose and consistent with the specific training product. Mapping is the process of checking and recording all necessary information is addressed.

Facilities, resources and equipment

Ensuring the right facilities, resources and equipment are in place is essential to delivering quality training and assessment.

Reasonable Adjustment

RTOs have an obligation to assist learners who may need some flexibility in training and assessment so that their individual needs can be met.
