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.

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
- short answer written tests
- written assignments
- projects
- portfolios
- peer assessment
- simulations
Results will be expressed as Pass (P) or Not Completed (NC).
The competencies apply to workplace activities associated with sorting, folding
and packing of clean hospital linen for hospital theatre requirements.
Work may involve individual and team-related activities. Folding routines are
completed as part of a production team.
Standards of safety, housekeeping and quality of work are as specified by
machine/equipment manufacturers, regulatory authorities, the workplace,
Australian Standard (AS) 4146.
