Recording

Record of Assessment

Before you commence your assessment, ensure that you have a good knowledge of the subject, have thoroughly read your Learner Resource, and clearly understand the assessment requirements and the expectations of the industry to which the assessment is related.

Assessments are designed to be completed using your industry/organisation, but your Registered Training Organisation (RTO) may assist you by contextualising the unit to be completed in a simulated workplace environment.

You will be required to demonstrate knowledge and skills which must be observed directly by your assessor. Where the observation task may be difficult for the assessor to directly observed, a video recording of the practical observation task must be submitted as supplementary evidence. Verification from at least one third-party signatory, and preferably two or more witnesses is required to confirm your demonstration of these practical knowledge and skills. These witnesses would usually be your current or recent supervisors, or your assessor.

The practical assessment tasks may be completed using your own workplace, a simulated environment, or a mix of both, as instructed by your assessor. To contextualise this assessment to your industry/organisation, you may be asked by your assessor to provide additional information based on your industry/organisation.

Instructions are given for each task. If you have questions, or unclear how to proceed, consult with your assessor.

Records of all aspects of the assessment must be kept in your Learner Assessment Pack

The record of assessment is a legal document and must be signed, dated, and a copy stored as required by your Registered Training Organisation (RTO).

Steps for Learners

Your Learner Assessment Pack:

Upon receiving your Learner Assessment Pack, discuss with your assessor the expectations and requirements of this assessment. You may also need to supply contact details of one or two work referees who can confirm your skills in the industry.

Discuss with your assessor if you intend to undertake the practical assessment tasks based on your employing organisation, in a simulated business, or in a mix of both.

Your Learner Assessment Pack is where you will get the task information. Complete each task as instructed using either your own workplace, or using a simulated business, as discussed with your assessor.

After you complete your assessment, gather and submit your evidence documents as detailed in the task(s) in the timeframe agreed with your assessor.

Your assessor will advise you if there are any further steps for you to take to satisfactorily complete this assessment.

Reasonable Adjustment

Adapted Reasonable Adjustment in teaching, learning and assessment for learners with a disability – November 2010 – Prepared by – Queensland VET Development Centre

Reasonable adjustment in VET is the term applied to modifying the learning environment or making changes to the training delivered to assist a learner with a disability. A reasonable adjustment can be as simple as changing classrooms to be closer to amenities or installing a particular type of software on a computer for a person with vision impairment.

Why make a reasonable adjustment?

We make reasonable adjustments in VET to make sure that learners with a disability have:

The same learning opportunities as learners without a disability, and

The same opportunity to perform and complete assessments as those without a disability.

Reasonable adjustment applied to participation in teaching, learning and assessment activities can include:

Customising resources and assessment activities within the training package or accredited course

Modifying the presentation medium

Learner support

Use of assistive/adaptive technologies

Making information accessible both before enrolment and during the course

Monitoring the adjustments to ensure learners needs continue to be met

Assistive/Adaptive Technologies

Assistive/Adaptive technology means ‘software or hardware that has been specifically designed to assist people with disabilities in carrying out daily activities’ (World Wide Web Consortium – W3C). It includes screen readers, magnifiers, voice recognition software, alternative keyboards, devices for grasping, visual alert systems, digital note-takers.

IMPORTANT:

Reasonable adjustment made for collecting learner assessment evidence must not impact on the standard expected by the workplace, as expressed by the relevant unit(s) of competency. For example, if the assessment were gathering evidence of the learner’s competency in writing, allowing the learner to complete the assessment verbally would not be a valid assessment method. The method of assessment used by any reasonable adjustment must still meet the competency requirements.

Resources Required for Assessment

Workplace Project Assessment

Project Overview

This workplace project assessment requires you to lead at least one risk management process for an organisation or work area.

This assessment is divided into five tasks:

Task 1: Establish the Risk Context and Research Risks

Task 2: Consult with Stakeholders to Identify Risks That Apply to Scope

Task 3: Analyse Risks and Develop Risk Treatment Schedule and Plan

Task 4: Consult with Stakeholders to Confirm Risk Analysis and Treatment Plan

Task 5: Implement and Monitor Risk Treatment

This project requires you to complete the assessment tasks in a real workplace or simulated environment where the conditions are typical of those in a working environment in this industry.

Each task comes with a set of instructions. You are to follow and perform these instructions while being observed by the assessor and/or submit any required documentation as evidence of task completion.

Before starting this assessment, your assessor will discuss with you these tasks, including instructions, resources, and guidance for satisfactorily completing them.

You are required to:

Complete the tasks within the time allowed, as scheduled in-class roll.

Establish the risk context and researching risks

Consult with stakeholders to identify risks that apply to scope

Analyse risks and develop a risk treatment schedule and plan

Consult with stakeholders to confirm the risk analysis and treatment plan

Implement and monitor the risk treatment

Resources Required for Assessment

Resources you need to access to complete the project assessment are outlined in the Resources Required for Assessment section of this workbook, and in the corresponding Assessor’s Checklist and/or Observation Form of each task.

Discuss each requirement with your assessor before commencing with each task. They will organise the resources required for this assessment.

IMPORTANT: Additional workplace resources may be required upon the contextualisation of this assessment.

Forms and Templates

Generic forms and templates are provided in the project tasks, unless otherwise specified. These can be accessed from the following link:

BSBOPS504 Forms and Templates

If you are currently in a workplace, use similar workplace templates and forms used by your organisation to complete each assessment task.

Discuss with your supervisor and your assessor first to ensure that the forms/templates you will use cover all criteria required by each assessment task.

Review these forms and templates with your assessor before starting the task.

Contextualisation

Instructions to the Assessor

The aim of this workplace assessment is to assess the learner’s practical knowledge and skills in:

Establishing the risk context and researching risks

Consulting with stakeholders to identify risks that apply to scope

Analysing risks and developing a risk treatment schedule and plan

Consulting with stakeholders to confirm their risk analysis and treatment plan

Implementing and monitoring risk treatment

Tasks 1 to 5 of this Workplace Project Assessment are designed only for the purpose of this assessment and not meant to add/modify any existing risk management policies and procedures in the learner’s specific organisation/workplace.

Prior to commencing the assessment, the assessor must contextualise these tasks as well as any other assessment tool provided along with this workbook, e.g., Observation Forms, Assessor’s Checklists, and other generic templates. The assessor must contextualise these to reflect:

The scope within the learner’s workplace context to which the risk management policies, processes, procedures, and requirements apply.

This will include specific areas in the workplace/organisation where risk treatment is to be implemented, and any risk management issues within the organisation it aims to address.

Legal and regulatory requirements that apply to this project, as well as those requirements from the state/territory of the learner’s workplace/organisation.

Relevant policies, processes, and procedures from your RTO or the learner’s workplace/organisation.

To contextualise these tasks:

Adapt/revise the instructions provided in each task so that they reflect the project the learner is working on, including:

Existing policies, procedures, and processes from the learner’s workplace/organisation that apply to this project.

Federal and/or state/territory legal and regulatory requirements that apply to this project.

Adapt/revise the Observation Form and/or the Assessor’s Checklist, as well as any assessment forms and templates provided in each task so that they reflect the project the learner is working on, including the context of the learner’s workplace/organisation.

For example, the Assessor’s Checklist in Task 1 outlines the requirements that the learner must provide to complete a Risk Management Report for a workplace risk management policies, processes, procedures, and requirements. The criteria provided are generic and do not apply to a specific workplace/organisation.

Adapt/revise the contents of this checklist and the corresponding form/template so that they cover all requirements that apply to the project.

Generic forms and templates are provided in the project tasks, unless otherwise specified.

Learners who are currently in the workplace can use similar forms and templates used by their workplace/organisation to complete each assessment task. However, the forms/templates they will use must cover all criteria required by each assessment task, and all requirements specified in the task must be included in their submissions. You must review the forms and templates the learner will use before they start the assessment.

IMPORTANT:

Any contextualisation required must be completed before distributing the assessment workbooks and associated assessment tools to the learners.

When contextualising the tasks for your RTO and your learner, ensure the assessment tasks and benchmark performance still address the relevant unit requirements and assessment requirements in compliance with Standards for RTOs 2015 Clause 1.8-1 Principles of assessment and Clause 1.8-2 Rules of evidence.

Simulating the Assessments

Instructions to the Assessor

This workplace project assessment must be conducted in a real workplace or in a simulated workplace environment.

Where a real workplace is not available, the assessor must conduct the assessment in a simulated workplace environment where conditions are typical of those experienced in a real workplace.

Even if the assessment is undertaken in a simulated workplace environment, it must still provide the learner with access to all the resources required to complete this assessment, e.g., if the task requires the learner to refer to organisational plans and documents to develop new workplace policies and procedures, they must still be provided with actual/simulated organisational plans and documents to assist in new policy development.

To simulate the tasks:

Adapt/revise the instructions provided in each task so that they can be completed in a simulated environment. This includes:

Providing additional contextual information such as details of a simulated business/workplace environment.

Providing simulated workplace documents such as policies and procedures, business plans, organisational charts, key performance indicators (KPIs), job descriptions, etc.

Arranging the requirements of observation tasks such as discussing with the learner’s workplace supervisor to allow the learner to conduct meetings with people within the organisation to participate in these meetings, through role play activities.

Creating scenarios based on the simulated business/workplace environment that will allow the learner to complete the task, e.g. resolving a customer service or workplace dispute.

IMPORTANT:

Any preparation required to simulate the assessments must be completed before distributing the assessment workbooks and associated assessment tools to the learners.

When simulating the assessments for the learner, the assessor must ensure the assessment tasks and benchmark performance still address the relevant unit requirements and assessment requirements in compliance with Standards for RTOs 2015 Clause 1.8-1 Principles of assessment and Clause 1.8-2 Rules of evidence.
