Self-Assuring Your Assessment

11 February 2022
ONLINE

Earning 4.5/5 Stars at the 2021 National VET Conference, this webinar is one not to be missed!

As VET practitioners we live and breathe a world of education change.  Assessing evidence produced as a result of consistently documented instructions, and gathered through a range of methods and techniques, is a race often lost against ever-changing packaging requirements and industry relevance.  This session explores self-assurance strategies that enable not only compliance confidence but the implementation of continued quality assurance across your assessment systems and practices.
 
The intent of this session is to equip you with some essential strategies for taking control of your own assessment practices and resources. Whether you are an RTO Manager leading a team of trainers and assessors or if you are the one responsible for designing, developing and conducting assessment, this session puts the spotlight on the differences between what is and what isn’t compliant assessment.
 
Meeting the requirements of the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, as outlined within the Standards, may seem straight forward to some but, yet, validation and audit outcomes highlight anomalies where most thought they had got it right. With this in mind, Melanie Alexandra will use this session to highlight best practice approaches across the development of assessment tools and conducting of assessment, enabling you to put the reigns of self-assurance firmly back into your own hands.  


Key topics covered within the webinar

  • the purpose behind clear and consistent, documented task instructions and how this may impact upon the audience’s interpretation of what they are required to produce for assessment 
  • making your assessment tools and practices valid ensuring they always meet training package and industry requirements, and 
  • gathering assessment evidence correctly to inform valid assessment judgments.
