About this template

Every qualification on a registered training organisation’s (RTO’s) scope of registration must have

documented training and assessment strategies and practices. This training and assessment

strategy (TAS) document is a dynamic document that is updated whenever strategies and

practices change. It must be of an auditable standard, containing verifiable information that meets

the requirement of the Standards for Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) 2015.

Who should use it

The Queensland Curriculum and Assessment Authority (QCAA) has provided this standardised

document for use in Queensland school RTOs.

Other people or organisations who want to use QCAA materials must obtain permission, as

stated in the QCAA copyright notice available from www.qcaa.qld.edu.au/copyright.html.

Queensland school RTOs may use this document to assist with their quality assurance processes

and systematic monitoring of RTO operations as outlined within the Standards for Registered

Training Organisations (RTOs) 2015. These standards form part of the VET Quality Framework.

How to use it

Customise the information in this TAS to represent the RTO’s current policies and practices,

involving RTO manager/s (RTOM), the Principal, trainers/assessors and industry representatives.

For all sections, replace sample or grey text with information representative of the RTO’s ongoing

practices. Follow the notes below to complete the TAS. Detailed guidance is provided in each section.

Section Notes for completion

1 Program overview All input fields must be amended to reflect current RTO policies and practices for the delivery of the qualification.

2 Core and elective components

Must always include sufficient units to be awarded a qualification. Optional delivery arrangements for units must be clearly explained in table 2.2.

3 Program assessment details

Must include the complete proposed learning program. This may be amended at any time.

4 Work experience When work experience is a requirement, it is mandatory to enter a summary of the work experience arrangements.

5 Trainers and assessors

This checklist is a summary of information already held by the RTO supporting trainer and assessor suitability and must always be completed. Assessment-specific requirements must be clearly explained in the subsection.

6 Physical resources and environment

Must be a summary statement identifying access to assessment resources.

7 Industry engagement All input fields must be populated. Engagement must include a meaningful summary of the industry representatives’ comments and/or recommendations.

8 Register of assessment tools

Before validation, list and briefly describe the total population of assessment tools that were used to make judgments of competency for this qualification.

9 Systematic validation Validation processes, arrangements, criteria and outcomes must be recorded.

10 TAS implementation checklist

Checklist must be used to confirm TAS is ready for implementation.

11 Systematic monitoring Checklist and notes must be used at intervals determined by the RTO to confirm monitoring outcomes and actions.

not have to be recorded here. Update this section as you improve or change the program.

Engage with industry to confirm the program’s relevance and briefly summarise this in Section 7.

Before you start developing assessment tools, consider how learning and assessment are usually

integrated, with assessment evidence being collected and feedback provided to the student

throughout the learning and assessment process. Holistic training and assessment brings

together a number of units of competency — relevant to the industry sector, workplace and job

role — into a cluster (group) that reflects actual workplace practices. Any units that relate to a job

function can be combined, and assessment tools designed to gather evidence in an efficient and

effective assessment process. Industry sees this approach as realistic and essential for both

delivery and assessment.

3.1 Developing assessment tools

Use these six steps to develop your assessment tools.

1. Read through the units of competency making up the qualification to understand all their

requirements. Make notes on any specific requirements like foundation skills not explicit in

the performance criteria, assessment conditions, and performance frequencies and

knowledge evidence.

2. Develop and document a series of assessment activities that reflect the performance and

knowledge demonstrated by a competent person in this industry. In the document describe

the context of the activities and include clear and comprehensive instructions to the trainer,

assessor and student. A casual reader of the activity document should easily identify what

has to be done, when, where and to what standard.

Summarise each of these assessment activities in Section 3.4.

3. Develop a set of evidence-gathering tools for each assessment activity. Include instructions

to the assessor and student on how they are to be used. All assessment techniques basically

fall into the following categories:

direct observations of student activity

questions — written, online or direct (verbal)

reviews of things a student produces (e.g. project work, folios, artefacts, online materials,

services).

In addition, there may be third party written reports.

List these assessment tools in Section 3.4.

4. Develop a single mapping or benchmarking tool to establish validity for all assessment tools

identified in this TAS. It will indicate the relationship between the requirements of the unit/s of

competency, the activities and evidence gathered.

Record the unit/s for which partial or complete evidence will be gathered in Section 3.4.

Page 16 of 62

5. Develop a student profile. Each student must have their own profile that has provision to

record outcomes for units of competency. As a minimum the profile must include:

student and assessor identification

dates or date ranges for completions

all units of competency the student is enrolled in, including code and title of qualification

a relevant final outcome on exit, e.g. Competent, Not Competent, Credit Transfer,

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL), Withdrawn

name of RTO

student year level.

You may optionally include a relevant interim outcome while gathering evidence,

e.g. sufficient/insufficient or satisfactory/unsatisfactory.

The final outcome is used when updating student management records. Outcomes are

recorded toward the end of the program when the assessor is satisfied there is enough valid

evidence.

6. When this qualification is due for validation, ensure that Section 8 is completed and the

assessment tools, including the mapping tool, are available for validators.

3.2 Student work

The assessment tools may not result in the production of tangible student work. This should not

concern validators or assessors. Competency-based assessment is substantially reliant on direct

observation and questioning evidence being gathered while an assessment task is being

undertaken.

The principle of validity includes the requirement that assessment of knowledge and skills is

integrated with their practical application. Assessment by practical application results in

assessment tools that produce both tangible and intangible evidence of students’ skills and

knowledge. Observations and direct questions do not produce tangible evidence, whereas

products, artefacts and folios do. Assessment tools producing both types of evidence should be

validated.

For both types of evidence, validators must analyse the decision-making rules. The decision-

making rules are the lists of observations, acceptable answers and product/artefact/folio

specifications used by the assessors to make judgments on evidence that is seen, heard or

produced.

Section 8 Register of assessment tools

This section should be completed prior to the qualification being validated. It is not required when

applying to add a qualification to scope. All RTOs must have a five-year validation plan that covers

all qualifications on scope. List and briefly describe the total population of assessment tools that

contribute to making judgments for this qualification. Validators will use a selection from this list.

Check the validated ‘Yes’ box in Section 8 after a tool has been validated.

The sample size selected for validation must be large enough to enable reasonable judgments to

be made on the quality of the assessment tools used to gather evidence of competency for this

qualification. Individual assessment tools usually map to multiple units, but the RTO must validate

sufficient tools to fully cover a minimum of two units of competency. Record these two units by

code and title in Section 9.2. This is an audit requirement.

Validators will need to review the mapping tool and a sample of the assessment project/activity/

task documents, the related evidence-gathering tools and the student profile documents in order to

successfully complete validation for this qualification. The review questions are found in

Section 9.3.

Validators also analyse the methods — that is, the documented assessment projects/activities/

tasks undertaken by the students — used to obtain evidence. The assessment methods must align

with the performance criteria of the units of competency making up the qualification. The evidence

gathered while the student was undertaking the activity must meet the Rules of Evidence and the

requirements of the units of competency, and must ensure consistent application by assessors.

The qualification’s benchmarking or mapping tool should be analysed by validators to determine

whether the assessment tool content and decision-making rules are mapped to the performance

criteria (and foundation skills when not implicit) and other assessment requirements of the units of

competency. Mapping tools can be used to determine whether sufficient assessment was

undertaken to enable judgments to be made on student competency. Assessment tools can map to

parts or all of a cluster of units or a single unit. It is likely that validation of assessment tools will

cover multiple units of competency.
