OUTCOME 3
Give examples of being able to maintain legal and good practice requirements when assessing occupational competence.
C. In carrying out assessment of occupational competence, I would ask myself:
How effective was my assessment and feedback?
Was there anything I didn’t anticipate?
How did I deal with it?
What went well?
What could I improve?
If I had to change anything what would I do differently?
I would ask the learner what they intend to do and how they are

This would be a write up on underpinning questions when a range has not quite been met. This could also be a write up on a hair style that was achieved, explaining how they went about getting the achieved look.
Insufficient evidence – If a learner hands back their assignment but has not met the criteria covered, they would be told there was insufficient evidence to complete the assignment. They would be asked to add the required evidence making the assignment achievable.
Recognising prior learning – This would be when a learner has completed a unit in another qualification within the set time of the national standards. I would check their certification for proof of this and get the learner to take the test of under pinning knowledge so they would not have to do the same unit again. I would be able to document this in the learners log book with a RPL form, the form would need to be signed and dated from the achieved date on the certificate.
C. To plan the assessment of occupational competence to address learner needs and current achievements.
In my assessment plan I would identify any specific need that the learner may have e.g. Dyslexia (I would check with the relevant department within the training establishment to see what help could be offered to the learner i.e. extra time given for assignments and written tests). I would then agree the level and extent of their current knowledge
Using a position description, you will set work goals and prioritise work goals. You will then develop two work plans to achieve two work goals. You are required to keep a journal containing your reflections on and explanation of the process
Examples could be assessment of recognised prior learning, knowledge and skills for a mature or experienced worker who does not have the relevant qualification. Witness testimonies from current and former employers who may are experts in their field could be used. Observations and verbal questioning in the work environment may be more suitable for a manual working candidate than an academic candidate. An academic candidate may prefer to be assessed through written evidence or through a professional discussion with the assessor.
Confirm achievement with the learner and plan the next assessment by returning to stage one. Identify any implications for learning, assessment and progression.
I also conduct one to one tutorials in an informal manner where we discuss objectives, progress and development. This demonstrates positive and individual inclusion. As stated by Wilson L. (2009). page112 “Assessment is a term given to checking that learning has occurred. It may happen at any stage during the learner’s progress through their qualification”.
• Create new tests with required proportion of questions aimed at measurement of trainee’s knowledge, comprehension and application;
It covers a range of different assessments including competence, knowledge and understanding skills.’ Pg 35.
4. Assess the relevant areas competence-and of missing knowledge, skills, experience, or expertise-in regard to the relevant aspects of the situation.
I should address any needs that have arisen at the previous stage. I then need to structure the course making sure that I stay within the boundaries of the syllabus if the course is accredited. If I am unsure then I can discuss this with my colleagues. I should also make sure that a risk assessment is carried out in the classroom following the guidelines of the health and safety act 1979.
At any stage of the assessment process the progress of the learner can be reviewed and plans can be amended, updated or changed in agreement with the learner and according to need. This allows: learners to raise issues relevant to their needs for completion of the qualification; assessors opportunities to amend assessment plans if it becomes necessary; and flexibility if environmental or other factors arise (such as issues relating to any third party involved in the
Also the assessor is to assess the learner’s knowledge and skills in a range of
If there is a disagreement with the assessments carried out then the learners can follow the organisational procedures that are set in
Once the learner has submitted an assignment or evidence, the assessor must review it to ensure that the learner has done what was asked of
When learners start college it is my responsibility to arrange for all learners to complete a suitable initial assessment. By doing this it will help me assess what level the learners are working at and what work I should set for them individually.
The role of the assessor is to make an informed judgement about the range of evidence the learner has completed to show their competence to meet the assessment criteria. The assessor must also maintain objectivity. Other responsibilities of the assessor are; to carry out assessments in accordance with specifications and documentation. They must ensure that evidence provided by the learner is sufficient to meet the requirements. They must provide feedback to the learner about their performance and achievement. They are
Explain the need for keeping records of assessment of learning and describe the types of records you would maintain.
