Overview of assessment

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit
Evidence of the ability to:
determine the human factors that need to be analysed when managing people and groups
conduct business meetings applying effective communication techniques
determine essential requirements of a product applying quality management principles
monitor and implement training for staff
resolve problems and conflicts in a business environment
support human resource management program.
Context of and specific resources for assessment
Assessment must ensure access to:
computer system and web-host workplace
relevant enterprise documentation, including human resource (HR) and quality management policies.
Where applicable, physical resources should include equipment modified for people with special needs.
Method of assessment
A range of assessment methods should be used to assess practical skills and knowledge. The following examples are appropriate for this unit:
direct observation of the candidate running a productive business meeting and effective interview techniques
verbal or written questioning to assess the required knowledge and skills
review of quality reports prepared by the candidate
evidence of consultations with staff and management.
Guidance information for assessment
Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector, workplace and job role is recommended, where appropriate.
Assessment processes and techniques must be culturally appropriate, and suitable to the communication skill level, language, literacy and numeracy capacity of the candidate and the work being performed.
Indigenous people and other people from a non-English speaking background may need additional support.
In cases where practical assessment is used it should be combined with targeted questioning to assess required knowledge.
