Evidence Guide
Assessment is the gathering of evidence of successful performance. The
assessment should focus on the learning outcome not on individual assessment
criteria. Assessment criteria are indicators of successful performance of the
learning outcome.

A holistic approach to assessment is desirable, ie. a single assessment
instrument may assess more than one learning outcome. For example, a workplace
project may assess both the planning and execution of a task(s).

Examples of assessment instruments include, but are not restricted to:

- practical demonstration/tests
- observation checklists
- oral questioning
- projects
- portfolios
- peer assessment
- simulations
- complete documentation

Results will be expressed as Pass (P) or Not Complete (NC).

and sorting of laundry products. Work may involve individual and team-related
