Where does Foundation Skills fit into the Assessment Validation Process?

19 July 2017
ONLINE

This webinar is designed for VET practitioners, to offer ideas to cover foundation skill requirements in assessment validation. Assessment validation aims to ensure that our assessment materials, tasks and procedures enable candidates to demonstrate observable behaviours to the “acceptable level” (Standards for RTOs). But how do we work out what ‘acceptable levels’ are, in terms of foundation skills? And how do we ensure our assessment materials, tasks and procedures assess foundation skills to this ‘acceptable level’?  

In this webinar endeavour to answer these questions. We’ll explain how foundation skills relate to the validation process and offer suggestions to ensure validation criteria sufficiently covers foundation skills.
