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.

Validation (V2.0)

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.

Moderation (SRTOs 2015)

Moderation is an activity aimed at bringing assessment judgements into alignment and is a quality control process.
