Assessment Guidance

Assessment guidance:

Assessment decisions for skills-based learning outcomes must be made during the learner’s normal work activity.

Skills-based assessment must include direct observation as the main source of evidence and must be carried out over an appropriate period of time.

AC 13.1, a, and b: achievement should reflect handling information both manual/written and electronically where learners are required to use different systems within the setting.

AC 13.1c: The learner should avoid the use of abbreviations and jargon and use respectful and inclusive language when contributing to records and reports.

Any knowledge evidence integral to skills-based learning outcomes may be generated outside of the work environment, but the final assessment decision must show application of knowledge within the real work environment.

Aim

This unit will help learners to understand how to handle information safely and correctly in the workplace.
