3. How to Conduct these Assessments

It is important that prior to conducting this assessment, the assessor undertakes the following:

Prior to conducting the assessment

• Read the assessment task as detailed throughout this document
• Contextualise the task (and checklist) to ensure it reflects the students working environment.  (Be sure to check with the mapping document to ensure any contextualisation still covers the unit requirements)
• Read the assessor instructions and checklist prior to commencing the assessment
• Ensure the workplace (or simulated environment) is suitable for the parameters of the task, to ensure the students will have an appropriate opportunity to demonstrates their skills
• Make suitable modifications to the workplace if required to allow all tasks to be observed
• If undertaken on the job – discuss the assessment with the workplace supervisor, to so they are aware of what will happen throughout the process
• Ensure the student is allocated the appropriate time and resources for the task
• If undertaken on the job – Determine and agree with the supervisor an acceptable time frame for each assessment.
• Advise the student prior to conducting the assessment of:
  • what will occur throughout the assessment process
  • when the assessment will occur
  • the level of competency expected
  • NB: You should not tell the student how to undertake the task, as it would lead the student and render the assessment process invalid.  The student should have been taught “How” to perform each task during the training stage, and is expected to know this prior to commencing the assessment
  • DO NOT give the student a copy of the checklist prior to the assessment

Conducting the assessment

• Establish and oversee the evidence gathering process to ensure remains valid, reliable, fair and flexible
• Advise the student when to commence the assessment
• Observe the student undertake the tasks as outlined
• Record your observations in the assessor checklist
• Where a checklist point is not observed due to an inappropriate environment, or for a reason outside the students control, modify the scenario to allow the student an opportunity to perform the associated task
• Where a checklist point is not appropriate, write “N/A” in the space provided
• Gather supporting documentation where available and appropriate (as evidence)
• Incorporate allowable adjustments to the assessment procedure without compromising the integrity of the assessment
• Do not interfere with the assessment unless the students actions impose a risk to themselves or anyone else
• If a student performs an action incorrectly, mark it as such.  Record what you see, not what you want to see.
• Once the assessment is complete, advise the student that the assessment has ceased, and record your comments in the sections provided

Making the decision

• The student needs to be deemed satisfactory in the full unit to gain competency.
• If you are in doubt, gather further evidence to help guide your decision.
• Assess the students on what you see during the assessment period, not on actions before or after the assessment.
• Use both the checklist and your professional competency to determine the final outcome for the student.
• If you are marking the student NYC, ensure you outline why you have made this decision, and provide advice on how the student can improve their skills / knowledge prior to reassessment.

After the assessment

• Provide constructive feedback to the student on their performance during the assessment period.  Do not make any comments on actions undertaken prior or after the assessment period.
• Provide the student with:
  • Clear and constructive feedback based on the assessment decision
  • Information on ways of overcoming any identified gaps in competency revealed by the assessment the opportunity to discuss the assessment process and outcome information on reassessment and the appeals processes.
  • An opportunity for reassessment if appropriate or requested by the candidate
  • Information on appeal process as applicable to your organisation
• Where the students performance is deemed satisfactory, provide the student with a copy of the completed checklist, ensuring the comments section is completed.
• Where the students performance is deemed not-satisfactory – provide a copy of the comments / feedback, but not the checklist.  This is to ensure the assessment remains valid on re-assessment.
• Record and report the assessment outcome as per your RTO’s procedures

Specific Assessor Notes:

1. Set a date for this assessment and advise students of the topic.
2. Hand out and explain the Student Information Form and allow opportunities for the student ask questions
3. Assess the candidates’ submissions / observations using the following checklist

This assessment may be undertaken in the following formats:

• On the job. These assessments must:
  • using a registered and operating workplace
  • ensure access to customers relevant to the work role and unit requirements
  • ensure access to staff members / colleagues
  • ensure candidate is working in a suitable role to the unit (i.e. – candidates undertaking units requiring staff supervision must have staff to supervise, and authority to do so)
  • ensure access to relevant, working and current tools and equipment as appropriate to the unit requirement
  • Relate the task to their current employer, to improve current risk management practices

• Classroom / Simulated environment. These assessments must
  • As outlined in the TAA04 Training Package Glossary, “”Simulation is a form of evidence gathering that involves the candidate in completing or dealing with a task, activity or problem in an off-the-job situation that replicates the workplace context. Simulations vary from recreating realistic workplace situations such as in the use of flight simulators, through the creation of role plays based on workplace scenarios to the reconstruction of a business situation on a spreadsheet. In developing simulations, the emphasis is not so much on reproducing the external circumstance but on creating situations in which candidates are able to demonstrate:
    • technical skills
    • underpinning knowledge
    • generic skills such as decision making and problem solving
    • workplace practices such as effective communication.” 

• If role plays are required, the assessor must ensure all ‘actors’ or ‘participants’ perform in a professional manner – reflecting an actual workplace. Participants are to be informed of their expected involvement.

• If a simulated workplace is used, it must allow for distractions such as background noises, ringing telephones, interruptions – etc.

• Each student must dress appropriately and professionally in line with workplace standards\

• Relate the project to the students current or preferred vocational direction

• Where no business is available, relate the project to the RTO (as a business), and use the assessor as the students supervisor

• For each assessment, you are not to interfere. In the event that the assessment is activities will impact on the safety of a student or bystander, the assessment must be stopped immediately

ASSESSMENT 2 – ASSESSOR INFORMATION

Using the risk management process developed in Assessment 1, each student is to perform a Risk Assessment on a vocational area of their choice.  This may be a department within the college, a business structure they are aware of, or any other vocational area.

The student is to use the forms developed in Assessment 1 for this task, and submit them to you (the assessor) at the conclusion of their review

As part of this task, each student is to record:

• who was involved in the assessment
• the processes they undertook
• any issues they came across and how they dealt with them
• the findings from the risk assessment

A sample Risk Management Plan that includes Risk Assessment Tools is provided with this unit, and should be used as a benchmark for student expectations.  It should not be given to the students, as it is an assessors’ resource.  (Students should be given examples of risk management plans as part of their training.) 

In the event that the student does not demonstrate competency in the previous task, the assessor is to make any amendments required to enable the submission to be used in this task. 

The assessor should also include at least 2 risk issues for the student to identify and develop appropriate contingencies for.  This should be on top of any risks identified within the original assessment.
