Assessment Strategy and PrinciplesFor knowledge learning outcomes:Assessors will need to be both occupationally knowledgeable and qualified to makeassessment decisions.
Internal Quality Assurers will need to be both occupationally knowledgeable and qualified tomake quality assurance decisions
For competency/skills learning outcomes:The skills learning outcomes, whilst linked to competence in the sector, are applied tolearner knowledge and understanding. Therefore the skills learning outcomes do notrequire assessment in a real work environment.
Assessors will need to be both occupationally knowledgeable and qualified to makeassessment decisions.
Internal Quality Assurers will need to be both occupationally knowledgeable and qualified tomake quality assurance decisions.
