Evidence Guide
Assessment scope
Assessment shall reflect an holistic approach to ensure all the critical aspects of electrical work as specified in learning outcomes one to four are clearly demonstrated and achieved. To assist in ensuring validity, reliability and fairness assessment instruments should include practical exercises, assignments and written oral and tests. These include:
1. Multiple choice, short answers, graphical, diagrammatic, calculation and problem solving, and
2. Set-up, installation, connection, measurement, data gathering, testing, observation and interpretation.
Conditions of assessment
Assessment shall be under supervision of a qualified assessor and will take place in a simulated or appropriate workplace environment.
Event structure of assessment
The assessment event shall be structured to integrate practical, written and oral test components based on real world scenarios in a simulated or appropriate workplace environment. A variety of assessment item types/approaches shall be included in the overall assessment.
Setting and evaluation
1. The assessment for competency may be set and evaluated by the RTO, and be in accordance with the industry approved competency development plan/training model. However, such assessment shall also take into account point 2 below, where the requirements of the Electrical Regulator and Industry for the purposes of the learner applying for an Electrical Licence.
2. As this module addresses the knowledge and skills critical to personal and public safety for work on electrical installations, it may also be used by a state/territory licensing authority as the basis for a final assessment for the issuing of an electrical licence. Under these circumstances, the Authority will specify the conditions under which the assessment is to be set and conducted.
Conducting assessment
The assessment shall be conducted to ensure authenticity of candidates work and be independent of the training delivery.
Timing of the assessment
The assessment shall be conducted no more than twice yearly and as set out by the requirements of the electrical regulator and industry. Special arrangements may apply for those who are unable to attend the scheduled assessment due to trauma affecting the learner’s or their significant others.
