IntroductionThis guide provides advice for an assessor on how to use the Resources and Infrastructure Industry Assessment Toolkit to manage the required assessment, or recognition of prior learning (RPL) process, for the relevant unit of competency. It provides general information on how to integrate the unit of competency performance criteria with the authentic workplace context to enable a candidate to be deemed competent for a particular stand-alone Unit of Competency, Skill Set or Qualification.

Companion Volumes and Support MaterialsSkillsDMC has developed a range of Companion Volumes to assist with implementation of the RII Resources and Infrastructure Industry Training Package. The Companion Volumes are non-endorsed components which provide implementation and assessment advice for RII Training package materials.. Development and maintenance of these Companion Volumes occurs through the SkillsDMC continuous improvement process.

Companion Volumes currently available on SkillsDMC website are:

Companion Volume Implementation Guide

provides an overview of the RII Resources and Infrastructure Industry Training Package including information about mapping, regulation and licencing, implementation, pathways advice and relevant links.

Companion Volume Foundation Skills

provides information about the core skill demands of learning, reading, writing, oral communication and numeracy in a unit of competency. It also offers advice on the development and assessment of Foundation Skills in the Resources and Infrastructure Industries and includes mapping of all Units of Competency to the Australian Core Skills Framework (ACSF).

Companion Volume Range of Conditions

contains the Range Statements for all Units of Competency. This volume has been broken up into ‘competency streams’ to simplify navigation.

The Companion Volume and Support Materials are located at www.skillsdmc.com.au

Advice on Planning for the Assessment and Conducting and Finalising the Assessment.

Assessment Information and templates for this Unit

An outline of suggested Assessment Methods with corresponding marking information Assessment Summary Tool Practical and Theory Assessment Tools Supporting Evidence Tool

This Assessor Guide provides a framework for an assessor to manage the specific competency-based assessment for this unit. It combines the operational (workplace) context with the industry standard to provide a comprehensive assessment tool to ensure the Candidate has the opportunity to be deemed competent.

The assessor is to conduct the assessment within the boundaries of the Assessor Guide so all requirements of the unit can be met.

Contextualising the toolsBefore using the tools for any type of assessment, the documents must be read over by the assessor to ensure they are suitable for the context in which they are being used.

There is an “Additional Section” at the end of both the Assessor and Candidate Guide for contextualisation. This section provides scope for supplementary or replacement questions and the customisation of specific organisational policies, procedures or similar to be identified

Assessment tools may also be combined for multiple units, where units are combined for delivery. This involves combining the same types of tool (practical with practical, theory with theory) under headings that match the plan of delivery.

Using the Assessment materials for RPLThe assessment tools can be used for assessment after training has been delivered or for RPL purposes.

RPL is a process to recognise a person’s skills and knowledge, regardless of how they have been acquired. RPL assessments can cover part or whole units of competency. All employees interested in training should be made aware of what the RPL process is, and how RPL can be applied for, according to the organisation’s site policy.

1. Planning for AssessmentSet up for Practical Assessment Ensure date, time, place, Candidate, assessment instrument and any tools/equipment are arranged. Ensure the environment is adequate for verbal delivery of assessment. Clarify the timing of the assessment with the Area Supervisor or relevant person and any other work in

progress during this time. Determine contingency options if this access is interrupted. Gather relevant site standards and procedures from the appropriate authorised company personnel.

Set up for Theory Assessment Ensure date, time, place, Candidate, assessment instrument and any tools/equipment are arranged Ensure the environment is adequate for delivery of assessment, eg by computer, pen-and-paper or

orally Confirm the assessment questions have been drafted for easy conversion into a computer-based

questionnaire Check availability of support where English or computer literacy is an issue for the Candidate. Confirm the theory assessment has been drafted as a bank of assessment questions from which a

suitable set of sample questions can be chosen for any one assessment Check that when sample of assessment questions is chosen from the complete bank of items they

have been suitably selected (e.g. all areas of the job role have sufficient sample questions included; all sections of the assessment have representative questions included) Issues of question selection and coverage are decided according to site policy.

Ensure the assessment form is finalised for the Candidate to use (whether in computer, pen-and-paper or oral format).

Gather relevant site standards and procedures from the appropriate authorised company personnel.

Meeting with the Candidate Introduce yourself and verify the identity of Candidate Establish that learning has occurred and confirm the Candidate is prepared for the assessment Explain what is required of Candidate. Both Candidate and assessor must confirm Candidate’s

readiness for assessment. Discuss the process of the assessment and how a mix of questions and actions will be part of the

assessment process Advise the Candidate of performance requirements for “Satisfactory” performance, according to site

policy. Discuss your organisation’s approach to skills recognition (or RPL) and the procedure to apply for it Explain how evidence needs to be collected in a variety of ways Confirm the number of attempts to be given on any particular assessment item Indicate the Candidate’s rights in the appeals process if a conflict arises Indicate the link between the assessment and the corresponding unit of competency

2. Conducting the AssessmentSkills need to be applied in the workplace in a variety of circumstances. As such, assessors must ensure that the Candidate can competently and safely undertake the task/s being assessed in different situations and conditions. Sound assessment practice involves the assessor determining that candidates are able to demonstrate the required level of performance prescribed by the unit of competency consistently, over time, and in a range of workplace conditions/settings.

The requirement for performance to be demonstrated on more than one (1) occasion is intended

to drive the use of rigorous assessment practices. Assessment decisions based on a single observation of performance are not sufficient to make a valid or reliable determination of competency.

Managing risk Define the assessment work area and equipment to be used as part of the assessment. Check any safety requirements, such as the use of PPE, have been met. Explain the methods of communication and the signal to stop the assessment. Where the Candidate is working dangerously or without necessary care or confidence, the assessor

must direct the Candidate to cease work and terminate the assessment. Immediate feedback should be given.

Gathering and recording evidence during practical assessment Do not interrupt while the Candidate is performing a task. Ask “What if …” questions where possible to assess knowledge relating to emergency and/or operating

situations Keep instructions to specific actions and position yourself so not to hinder the Candidate but still be

able to observe all actions. Ask safety related questions prior to instructing the Candidate to act, in order to clarify his/her intent. Keep quiet through action steps to allow the Candidate to concentrate.

Page viii of xi

Page 10: SkillsDMC New Template with guidance - Assessor Guide · Web viewAn Introduction to the Guide and guidance on how to contextualise the tool for an assessment or use the materials

Examine the selection of actions, degree of completion, and timing of outcomes of actions and record these on the instrument.

Check the Candidate’s actions with “what if…” questions to capture different dimensions of competency.

Summarise the assessment progress at the end of each section/element. Ensure that all assessment criteria are met before Candidate is granted overall competency on the

unit. All questions must be answered correctly unless otherwise stated in the assessment instrument or elsewhere in site policy.

Record results in the appropriate place within this document and add notes relating to specific occurrences that identify the individual assessment against the standard work processes.

Gathering supporting evidence The supporting evidence assessment can be undertaken at any stage. The assessment component covers various aspects of a Candidate’s job performance, workplace activities and previous experience and can inform the assessor of his/her competence against the unit of competency.

Not all methods of gathering supporting evidence need to be used for each element. The assessor should gather enough evidence to support a final decision on the Candidate’s competence, taking into account whether separate practical and theory assessments have also been undertaken.

Tick () the box as ‘Satisfactory’, if enough supporting evidence has been gathered for that particular element to form the view that the Candidate has demonstrated satisfactory performance overall. Cross (X) the box where there is not enough supporting evidence to show that the Candidate has achieved satisfactory performance against that particular element.

Workplace Health and Safety Ensure all personnel have completed an area-specific induction prior to assessment commencing. Site, area and statutory safety requirements must be observed at all times during the assessment. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) appropriate to the task and the assessment context is to be worn

at all times

3. Finalising the AssessmentSummary and sign-off Make a final decision about the Candidate’s competence after completing the required assessment(s),

and provide feedback to the Candidate on their performance (highlighting both positive examples and room for improvement).

If the Not Satisfactory box is ticked, the assessor must inform the Candidate’s supervisor and further training needs to be given to bring the Candidate up to a satisfactory level.

Complete the final assessment summary sheet, including signatures of those involved, and explain that the Candidate is now responsible for maintaining their competence.

The Assessor will need to explain the re-assessment policy that applies to the Candidate in relation to gaining competence in this unit.

General Tips All assessment should be customised to reflect site-specific:

risks and hazards equipment and machinery processes and procedures, including reporting and recording procedures standards and requirements

All sections of the assessment must be completed with an ink pen. Pre–assessment: To ensure that the Candidate understands the assessment process the assessor

must explain the assessment and any appeal processes to the Candidate. Both are to sign the Pre-assessment form prior to commencing the assessment.

Performance will often need to be demonstrated over a period of time and/or in different locations. More than one assessment of a block of tasks may be necessary. The relevant part of a blank assessment tool can be copied for re-use, then dated and attached to the original once it is completed.

Where appropriate, performance should be assessed across different conditions e.g. wet and dry weather; day and night; different equipment attachments; different materials, etc.

The assessment tool is structured to allow for suitable breaks where needed between blocks of tasks. Outcomes from theory and other supporting evidence assessments should be reflected in the final

assessment summary. On final completion of the overall assessment the “Assessment Summary” sheet must be completed by

both the Candidate and Assessor. Communicate to the Candidate any feedback comments.
