• To meet regulatory requirements:– Standards for Registered Training Organisations 2015
(SRTOs) – Australian Quality Training Framework (AQTF)
![Page 4: Nadia Casarotto / Cheryl Bartolo 10 June 2015 UNPACKING THE VALIDATION PROCESS](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022082817/56649e5c5503460f94b54276/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
WHAT IS VALIDATION ABOUT?
Validation is a quality review process
REVIEW OF WHAT?
• Assessment policies and procedures
• Assessment tools:
– do the assessments produce the required evidence for the unit/s?
– do the assessments enable reasonable and consistent judgements?

THE BIG PICTURE
![Page 6: Nadia Casarotto / Cheryl Bartolo 10 June 2015 UNPACKING THE VALIDATION PROCESS](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022082817/56649e5c5503460f94b54276/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
WHAT SHOULD BE VALIDATED?
• Assessment tools- unit of competency/cluster of units/partial unit
- assessment tasks
- assessment criteria
- assessment outcomes (judgements)
![Page 7: Nadia Casarotto / Cheryl Bartolo 10 June 2015 UNPACKING THE VALIDATION PROCESS](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022082817/56649e5c5503460f94b54276/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
HOW?Assessment Validation Procedure
Develop assessment validation plan
Plan and prepare for validation meeting
Participate in validation meeting and document improvements
Make improvements to tools as per validation outcomes and record these have been actioned
![Page 8: Nadia Casarotto / Cheryl Bartolo 10 June 2015 UNPACKING THE VALIDATION PROCESS](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022082817/56649e5c5503460f94b54276/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
HOW?At the organisational level
Develop and implement an assessment validation procedure
• Develop and implement a validation plan:
– when assessment validation will occur
– which training products will be the focus of the validation
– who will lead and participate in validation activities
– how the outcomes of these activities will be documented and acted upon (continuous improvement log)
![Page 9: Nadia Casarotto / Cheryl Bartolo 10 June 2015 UNPACKING THE VALIDATION PROCESS](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022082817/56649e5c5503460f94b54276/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
HOW?
At the organisational level
• Develop validation tool to record validation outcomes
• Identify number of assessments to be validated
• Develop and implement procedure to make and record improvements arising from validation sessions
– who is responsible– time frames– how actions will be recorded
![Page 10: Nadia Casarotto / Cheryl Bartolo 10 June 2015 UNPACKING THE VALIDATION PROCESS](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022082817/56649e5c5503460f94b54276/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
HOW? (Validators)
• Confirm the units to be validated according to your organisation’s validation plan
• Ensure all assessment tools and selected student assessment outcomes related to the unit/s are available
• Note taker completes validation report for each task validated
• Record suggested improvements/actions to be made according to your organisation’s procedures
• Sign validation report

WHEN?
• Before conducting the assessment• After conducting the assessment (Moderation)• At least once every five years (SRTOs)• As per organisational validation plan (SRTOs)• Systematic (AQTF)
![Page 12: Nadia Casarotto / Cheryl Bartolo 10 June 2015 UNPACKING THE VALIDATION PROCESS](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022082817/56649e5c5503460f94b54276/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
WHERE?
• Teacher Network meetings such as the CGEA Champions
• Communities of Practice
• Staff meetings
• Professional Development sessions
![Page 13: Nadia Casarotto / Cheryl Bartolo 10 June 2015 UNPACKING THE VALIDATION PROCESS](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022082817/56649e5c5503460f94b54276/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
THE ROLE OF INDUSTRY• Industry does not need to be directly involved in the validation
process (SRTOs and AQTF)
• Industry must be involved in the development of the Training and Assessment Strategy (SRTOs and AQTF)
• Who is the industry for the CGEA?– teacher networks– pathway destination staff– professional associations e.g. VALBEC, ACAL– community organisations– school communities e.g. family literacy
![Page 14: Nadia Casarotto / Cheryl Bartolo 10 June 2015 UNPACKING THE VALIDATION PROCESS](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022082817/56649e5c5503460f94b54276/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
THE ROLE OF TRAINERS & ASSESSORS
• One or more persons who are not directly involved in the particular instance of delivery and assessment of the training product being validated (SRTOs)
• persons who have:– vocational competencies and current industry skills relevant to the
assessment being validated (see CGEA curriculum) – current knowledge and skills in vocational teaching and learning– the training and assessment qualification or assessor skill set
referred to in the SRTOs and the AQTF

WORKSHOP
In groups consider:• How does your organisation currently approach assessment
validation?
• Who is your industry and how could you involve them in the development of your Training and Assessment Strategy
• What can you do at the practitioner level to improve validation outcomes?
• What issues you have encountered in validation sessions for the CGEA? How can these issues be addressed?
