The ‘Transition arrangements’ section within each strategy for the above listed training products is not accurate as it refers to the RTO complying with ASQA’s General Direction: Transition and teach out which was replaced by ASQA’s General Direction Learner transition which came into effect on 1 April 2015.

The evidence provided does not clearly describe the strategies to be implemented by the organisation to deliver and assess the above training products. For example, but not limited to the following:

o The training and assessment strategies provided do not provide a framework to describe

and guide the training delivery and assessment requirements for the 100% on the job

traineeship delivery model. For example:

It is not clear how the RTO ensures the training delivered on the job by each employer covers all aspects of the training package and is not simply training specific to the learner’s workplace.

Discussion with RTO representatives indicate there are a number of documents that support and guide the RTOs training and assessment strategies, however these documents are not referenced or referred to within the strategy document.

the evidence provided does not describe how the RTO monitors training delivery in the workplace and the learners progress. For example, the required number of monitoring visits and the time learners are allocated to undertake training activities in the workplace.

The strategies state different learner cohorts including School based Trainees, Work based Trainees and Existing workers, however the evidence provided does not describe the delivery and assessment arrangements specific to each separate learner cohort.

The evidence provided did not detail the physical resources required for delivery of the above qualifications. In addition, it was not clear how the RTO ensures each workplace has access to the resources and equipment required by the AHC, BSB, SIR, SIT, and TLI Training Packages.

TLI42016 Certificate IV in Logistics

The assessment methods listed in the training and assessment strategy are not consistent with the assessment tools provided. For example, the strategy states the assessment methods for TLIX4028 Apply knowledge of logistics are Projects, Questions, Observation and Third Party reports however, no evidence of an observation assessment tool was provided.

TLIF2010 Apply fatigue management strategies

The evidence provided does not clearly describe the strategies to be implemented by the organisation to deliver and assess this training product. For example, but not limited to the following:

o The RTO advised this unit is predominately delivered to corporate client Ron Finemore

Transport however, the strategy was generic and did not describe the specific strategies

the RTO has in place to deliver and assess this training product for this particular client.

For example, the RTO is relying on assessment evidence gathered by a third party,

however the strategy does not include any information in relation to a third party report

being required.

o There are inconsistencies in the assessment requirements. For example, the training and

assessment strategy does not provide guidance on the assessment arrangements and

assessment methods implemented by the organisation and indicates this unit is delivered

and assessed within one day (6 hours). However, the Assessment Environment section

of the Assessment Plan states: ‘Assessment Tasks – these assessments are to be

completed by combination of workplace and home and the ATEL Assessment Tool –

Assessment will be undertaken at your workplace under real work conditions. Date and

time for assessment will be agreed upon with all parties’.

o The evidence provided did detail the physical resources required for delivery of this unit.

The RTO has not demonstrated how they have determined this amount of training is appropriate for the identified student cohort. For example:

o The RTO has stated TLIF2010 Apply fatigue management strategies will be delivered as

follows, six hours consisting of:

2.5 hours (face to face delivery)

45 minutes (formative assessment)

1 hour (summative assessment)

45 minutes (Review assessments and complete and sign paperwork)

1 hour (breaks)

Total amount of training – 2.5 hours

Total VOL – 4 hours 15 minutes

o The strategy indicates learners are both new and existing drivers, however the RTO did

not provide a rationale or an explanation of how the amount of training of 2.5 hours has

been determined as sufficient for both new and existing drivers and will enable each

learner to gain the skills and knowledge specified to meet the requirements of the unit.

The evidence provided has addressed the non-compliance.

Standards for RTOs Clause 1.8

Original Finding: Not compliant

Finding following additional evidence: Compliant

The RTO implements an assessment system that ensures that assessment (including recognition of prior learning):

a) complies with the assessment requirements of the relevant training package or VET accredited course; and

b) is conducted in accordance with the Principles of Assessment contained in Table 1.8-1 and the Rules of Evidence contained in Table 1.8-2.

Table 1.8.1 Principles of Assessment

Fairness The individual learner’s needs are considered in the assessment process.

Where appropriate, reasonable adjustments are applied by the RTO to take into account the individual learner’s needs.

The RTO informs the learner about the assessment process, and provides the learner with the opportunity to challenge the result of the assessment and be reassessed if necessary.

Flexibility Assessment is flexible to the individual learner by:

reflecting the learner’s needs;

assessing competencies held by the learner no matter how or where they have been acquired; and

Australian Skills Quality Authority 14 of 38

Audit report - Apprentices – Trainees – Employment Ltd

drawing from a range of assessment methods and using those that are appropriate to the context, the unit of competency and associated assessment requirements, and the individual.

Validity Any assessment decision of the RTO is justified, based on the evidence of performance of the individual learner.

Validity requires:

assessment against the unit/s of competency and the associated assessment requirements covers the broad range of skills and knowledge that are essential to competent performance;

assessment of knowledge and skills is integrated with their practical application;

assessment to be based on evidence that demonstrates that a learner could demonstrate these skills and knowledge in other similar situations; and

judgement of competence is based on evidence of learner performance that is aligned to the unit/s of competency and associated assessment requirements.

Reliability Evidence presented for assessment is consistently interpreted and assessment results are comparable irrespective of the assessor conducting the assessment.

Table 1.8.2 Rules of Evidence

Validity The assessor is assured that the learner has the skills, knowledge and attributes as described in the module or unit of competency and associated assessment requirements.

Sufficiency The assessor is assured that the quality, quantity and relevance of the assessment evidence enables a judgement to be made of a learner’s competency.

Authenticity The assessor is assured that the evidence presented for assessment is the learner’s own work.

Currency The assessor is assured that the assessment evidence demonstrates current competency. This requires the assessment evidence to be from the present or the very recent past.

The RTOs assessment practices are not compliant with the requirements of Clause 1.8 of the Standards for RTOs 2015, as the evidence provided did not demonstrate that the RTO implements an assessment system that ensures that assessment (including recognition of prior learning):

a) complies with the assessment requirements of the relevant training package or VET accredited course; and

b) is conducted in accordance with the Principles of Assessment and the Rules of Evidence.

Evidence of non-compliant assessment practices includes:

AHC30116 Certificate III in Agriculture

Audit report - Apprentices – Trainees – Employment Ltd

The evidence provided for AHCLSK301 Administer medication to livestock and AHCLSK311 Implement feeding plans for livestock does not address all the training package requirements and does not confirm assessment will be conducted in accordance with the Principles of Assessment and the Rules of Evidence, for the following reasons:

AHCLSK301 Administer medication to livestock

Validity and Sufficiency – the assessment tools do not address all unit of competency requirements. For example, but not limited to:

o Performance Evidence:

Performance must be demonstrated consistently over time and in a suitable range of contexts.

o The Critical Points of Observation Checklist provided does not ensure that the learner demonstrates the required performance evidence over a period of time and in a suitable range of contexts. The form only provides a blank spot for a date observed to be written and does not indicate if multiple observations took place and the contexts of the observations. A review of student records verified that multiple observations did not take place against all the assessment criteria for the records reviewed.

o Knowledge Evidence:

apply relevant work health and safety requirements

relevant State/Territory legislation, regulations and codes of practice with regard to work health and safety, animal welfare, biosecurity and the use and control of hazardous substances.

The assessment tools repeatedly refer to Occupational Work Health and Safety or OHS, which is obsolete term, rather than the current Work Health and Safety (WHS) requirements. This in not ensuring that the learner is able to demonstrate knowledge of the current and relevant work health and safety requirements.

Withholding periods for residues in meat, milk or wool

Personal protective clothing and equipment and when and how it should be used and maintained

The assessment material provided does not consider the above listed Knowledge Evidence. Therefore, it is unclear how these unit requirements are being assessed.

Reliability – the assessment tools do not contain sufficient performance benchmarks for each skill/behaviour to be demonstrated, therefore it cannot be confirmed that all training package requirements will be met and that consistent judgements will be made across a range of learners and assessors. For example, but not limited to the following:

o Critical Points Observation Checklist:

The observable assessment criteria are a cut and paste or rewording of the unit requirements and do not contain sufficient performance benchmarks to ensure the learner is assessed demonstrating the unit requirements.

Lists unobservable behaviours.

A review of the student records indicate that the Checklist does not provide enough guidance to assessors regarding observation over time to ensure that assessment is consistent across a range of learners and assessors.

o Question Sheet:

A review of the Student Records indicates inconsistent assessment occurring regarding learner responses to questions. In some cases, learners are answering open-ended questions with multiple sentences or one word and still being assessed as competent. This guidance provided to the assessor in the Assessor Guide and to the learner in the Assessment Tool does not indicate to what length the learner is required to responded to each open-ended question and therefore allowing for inconsistent judgements across a range of learners.

Fairness – the assessment tools do not provide clear information to the learner and assessor to fully inform them of the assessment process and conditions. For example, but not limited to the following:

o The information provided to the learner and assessor regarding the observation assessment do not provide the conditions and context regarding the conduct of the assessment.

o Clear information is not provided to learners and assessors, regarding the required length of responses to the assessment questions.

SITXCCS006 Provide Service to customers

SITXFSA001 Use hygienic practices for food safety

The evidence provided for SITXCCS006 Provide Service to customers and SITXSA002 Participate in safe food handling practices does not address all the training package requirements and does not confirm assessment will be conducted in accordance with the Principles of Assessment and the Rules of Evidence, for the following reasons:

SITXCCS006 Provide Service to customers

Validity and Sufficiency – the assessment tools do not address all unit of competency requirements. For example, but not limited to:

o Performance Criteria:

PC 1.1 Communicate with customers in a professional manner within designated response times using appropriate verbal and non-verbal communication.

PC 2.1 Practise high standards of personal presentation and hygiene according to organisational requirements,

PC 3.1 Establish rapport with customer to promote goodwill and trust during service delivery.

PC 4.2 Respond to customer complaints in a professional manner PC 4.5 Escalate complex service issues to higher level staff for action

It is not clear how the above listed PCs are being assessed as the required interactions and communication criteria are not considered in the assessment tools.

o Performance Evidence:

Identify customer requirements and provide quality customer service to three different internal and three different external customers to meet requirements

Provide service to above customers in line with organisational customer service standards and within designated organisational response times

Demonstrate procedures to respond to and resolve three different customer complaints according to organisational policies and procedures

Demonstrate effective communication with the above internal and external customers including any with special needs

Seek formal and informal feedback from customers on above service

The assessment material provided does not require or allow the learner to undertake working with three internal and three external clients or assess the learner undertaking any of the above listed Performance Evidence requirements while working with these clients. It is unclear how these unit requirements are being met.

o Knowledge Evidence:

Principles of quality customer services and positive communication Appropriate non-verbal communication for customers

The assessment material provided does not consider the above listed Knowledge Evidence. Therefore, it is unclear how these unit requirements are being assessed.

Reliability – the assessment tools do not contain sufficient performance benchmarks for each skill/behaviour to be demonstrated, therefore it cannot be confirmed that all training package requirements will be met and that consistent judgements will be made across a range of learners and assessors.

In some cases, learners are answering open-ended questions with multiple sentences or one word and still being assessed as competent. This guidance provided to the assessor in the Assessor Guide and to the learner in the Assessment Tool does not indicate to what length the learner is required to responded to each open-ended question and therefore allowing for inconsistent judgements across a range of learners.

Fairness – the assessment tools do not provide clear information to the learner and assessor to fully inform them of the assessment process and conditions. For example, but not limited to the following:

o Clear information is not provided to the learner regarding the context and conditions of the observation assessment.

o The Assessor’s Guide states that ‘the student will perform 2 demonstrations in order for the assessor to conduct an observation in the workplace’. However, this information is not provided to the learner regarding the context of the assessment nor do the assessment tools support two observations.

o Clear information is not provided to learners and assessors, regarding the required length of responses to the assessment questions.

SITXFSA001 Use hygienic practices for food safety

Validity and Sufficiency – the assessment tools do not address all unit of competency requirements. For example, but not limited to:

o Performance Evidence:

Demonstrate use of safe food handling practices in food handling work function in line with organisational hygiene procedures on at least three occasions

Demonstrate procedures to:

Identify food hazards

Report unsafe practices

Report incidents of food contamination

The assessment tasks for this unit consider the above listed PEs, however it is unclear how the assessor assesses and records the demonstration of these unit requirements.

o Assessment Conditions:

The assessment tools provided do not demonstrate access to the following items required in the assessment conditions:

Work benches

Cutlery

Glassware

Reliability – the assessment tools do not contain sufficient performance benchmarks for each skill/behaviour to be demonstrated, therefore it cannot be confirmed that all training package requirements will be met and that consistent judgements will be made across a range of learners and assessors. For example, but not limited to the following:

o The guidance provided to the Assessor regarding Tasks 1 and Task 2 do not provide sufficient performance benchmarks to ensure that the learner has adequately demonstrated all the unit requirement and cannot confirm that consistent judgements will be made across a range of learners and assessors.

BSBINN301 Promote innovation in a team environment

Validity and Sufficiency – the assessment tools do not address all unit of competency requirements. For example, but not limited to:

o Performance Criteria

4.2 Gather and use feedback from within and outside the team to generate discussion and debate.

The assessment material provided does not indicate that the learner is required to gather and use feedback in the assessment tasks.

o Performance Evidence

Apply practices that promote innovation within a team including:

Reflecting on activities, feedback and challenges to identity improvement options

Implement improvements and communicate about them

The assessment material provided does not demonstrate that the above listed PEs are considered or assessed.

Reliability – the assessment tools do not contain sufficient performance benchmarks for each skill/behaviour to be demonstrated, therefore it cannot be confirmed that all training package requirements will be met and that consistent judgements will be made across a range of learners and assessors. For example, but not limited to the following:

o No evidence was provided regarding guidance to assessors in relation to the Assessment Tasks and therefore cannot confirm that all training package requirements are being met.

o Critical Points Observation Checklist:

Does not provide sufficient performance benchmarks to confirm that all training packages requirements are being met and consistent judgements are being made across a range of assessors and learners.

Lists unobservable behaviours.

Fairness – the assessment tools do not provide clear information to the learner and assessor to fully inform them of the assessment process and conditions. For example, but not limited to the following:

o The mapping document lists the superseded unit information, for example the Required Skills from the superseded unit are listed and not the Performance Evidence as associated criteria. This is not providing accurate information on the assessment process for to assessors.

o Clear information is not provided to the learner regarding the number, context and conditions of the observation assessment.

o The Assessor Guide states ‘The student will perform 2 demonstrations in order for the assessor to conduct an observation in the workplace’ however the Critical Points Observation Checklist indicates three observations are taking place. This inconsistency in documents does not provide clear information to the assessor as to how many observations are required to take place.

o A review of the Student Records identified that a Third Party Report was not being completed correctly which indicates that clear information is not being provided to the Third Parties regarding the report requirements.

BSBCUS301 Deliver and monitor a service to customers

Validity and Sufficiency – the assessment tools do not address all unit of competency requirements. For example, but not limited to:

o A review of the Student records identified that not all of the assessment evidence required was submitted for each student. This assessment practice has not ensured that the learners are being sufficiently assessed against all of the unit requirements.

Reliability – the assessment tools do not contain sufficient performance benchmarks for each skill/behaviour to be demonstrated, therefore it cannot be confirmed that all training package requirements will be met and that consistent judgements will be made across a range of learners and assessors. For example, but not limited to the following:

o Third Party reports are the only assessment instrument assessing the practical applications of this unit. The instrument has a section at the end of the document that states ‘Assessor Evaluation’ with a blank space. No guidance is provided to the assessor regarding the evaluation of the report document and if the Third Party has provided sufficient evidence to ensure that the learner has adequately demonstrated the unit requirements. A review of student records shows that the assessor evaluation is left blank or just a two-word comment is provided and no evidence of an evaluation of the third party report has taken place.

Fairness – the assessment tools do not provide clear information to the learner and assessor to fully inform them of the assessment process and conditions. For example, but not limited to the following:

The evidence provided for SIRXCEG001 Engage the customer and SIRXCOM002 Work effectively in a team does not confirm assessment is conducted in accordance with the Principles of Assessment and the Rules of Evidence, for the following reasons:

SIRXCEG001 Engage the customer

Note: this unit is assessed in conjunction with:

- SIRXSLS001 Sell to the retail customer - SIRXCEG002 Assist with customer difficulties - SIRXCEG003 Build customer relationships and loyalty - SIRXCOM002 Work effectively in a team

Reliability - The assessment tools do not contain sufficient performance benchmarks for each skill/behaviour to be demonstrated, therefore it cannot be confirmed that all training package requirements will be met and that consistent judgements will be made across a range of learners and assessors. For example, but not limited to:

o The assessment tools provided and the completed student assessment items reviewed for Allison Francis are not consistent. Five of the completed questions were different to those listed in the Assessment Tool and the Assessor Guide.

Fairness - The assessment tools do not provide clear information to the learner and assessor to fully inform them of the assessment process and conditions.

o The assessment instructions do not provide learners or assessors with guidance on the level and detail of the responses required to be deemed satisfactory. For example, where there are multiple responses to a question how many responses must the learner provide to be deemed satisfactory.

Note: this unit is assessed in conjunction with:

- SIRXSLS001 Sell to the retail customer - SIRXCEG002 Assist with customer difficulties - SIRXCEG003 Build customer relationships and loyalty - SIRXCEG001 Engage the customer

Reliability - The assessment tools do not contain sufficient performance benchmarks for each skill/behaviour to be demonstrated, therefore it cannot be confirmed that all training package requirements will be met and that consistent judgements will be made across a range of learners and assessors. For example, but not limited to:

o There is an error in the numbering of questions within the Assessor Guide with Question 6 being listed as Question 7.

o The completed student assessment reviewed for Kathleen Furner shows the answer to Question 12 (Question 13 in the Assessor Guide) has been marked as satisfactory however, the answer does not reflect the answer provided in the Assessor Guide.

Fairness - The assessment tools do not provide clear information to the learner and assessor to fully inform them of the assessment process and conditions.

o The assessment instructions do not provide learners or assessors with guidance on the level and detail of responses required to be deemed satisfactory. For example, where there are multiple responses to a question how many responses must the learner provide to be deemed satisfactory.

Australian Skills Quality Authority 29 of 38

Audit report - Apprentices – Trainees – Employment Ltd

will be conducted in accordance with the Principles of Assessment and the Rules of Evidence, for the following reasons:

TLIX4028 Apply knowledge of logistics

Validity and Sufficiency – the assessment tools do not address all unit of competency requirements. For example, but not limited to:

o Performance Criteria:

PC1.1 Relevant logistic requirement are identified and obtained.

The assessment material provided indicate this requirement is assessed by a single knowledge question ‘How do you identify and obtain relevant logistics requirements?’ Assessing a learners’ knowledge only does not ensure sufficient evidence is collected to confirm learners hold the practical skills to perform the task satisfactorily.

PC 2.2 Effectiveness of the recommendation is assessed, reviewed and recorded in accordance with organisational policy and procedure.

PC 2.3 Recommendations are adjusted as required and documented for future application in accordance with organisational policies and procedures.

The evidence provided does not demonstrate the assessment process ensures the learners practical skills are assessed with only knowledge based assessments in place. In addition, as individual workplace procedures are not used in the assessment process it is not clear how these performance criteria are assessed. (See Performance Evidence and Assessment Conditions below).

The RTO is relying on evidence collected from a Third Party via a Third Party Report to assess the practical skill requirements of the unit. A review of completed student records indicate assessors are not ensuring the collection of quality assessment evidence provided by a Third Party to ensure it is sufficient and allows for the assessor to evaluate the evidence and make a determination of whether competence has been demonstrated. For example, the Third Party report instructs the Third Party to provide detailed comments on how each performance standard was demonstrated by the type of work activities performed. These details must include the work task performed and how they incorporated the performance standard in to the task. The Third Party Report also states that ‘no comments or single word responses to about how each performance standard was observed is not acceptable Third Party evidence’. However, the Third Party Report contained in the completed student assessment materials for Simon Blake appears to be only a tick and flick and the comments provided were not legible and only contained three words and for Amanda Hill no comments were provided.

o Performance Evidence:

The evidence provided does not demonstrate the unit’s ‘Performance Evidence’ requirements will be met. Specifically, that sufficient evidence is gathered and assessed to satisfy all requirements of the elements and performance criteria. (see Performance criteria above)

o Knowledge Evidence: The evidence provided does not demonstrate the RTO ensure all knowledge

requirements of the unit are assessed. For example, the completed student assessment materials provided for Amanda Hill indicates the assessor has not conducted the assessments and implemented the tools as instructed. For example:

- in some instances, the learner’s responses to the knowledge assessment do not meet the assessment criteria included in the Assessor Guide however they have been marked as satisfactory (Questions 6 and 8).

- The completed knowledge assessment for this student included Question 10, however the Assessor Guide does not include this question.

- The completed knowledge assessment tool is not complete as it does not identify whether the assessment was conducted verbally or in writing.

Australian Skills Quality Authority 30 of 38

Audit report - Apprentices – Trainees – Employment Ltd

- the learners’ responses to the activities included in the Participant Guide are not consistent with the questions and answers included in the Assessor Guide. For example, Activity 1 includes three questions however, the only two are answered in the completed assessment materials.

o Assessment conditions:

The evidence provided does not demonstrate the ‘Assessment Conditions’ of the unit will be met. Specifically, the unit states resources for assessment include applicable documentation including workplace procedures, regulations, codes of practice and operation manuals however, workplace procedures are not used in the assessment process.

Reliability - The assessment tools do not contain sufficient performance benchmarks for each skill/behaviour to be demonstrated, therefore it cannot be confirmed that all training package requirements will be met and that consistent judgements will be made across a range of learners and assessors. For example, but not limited to:

o The guidance provided to assessors included in the Assessor Guide for the Project Assessment Task is general and does not establish criteria to judge the quality of evidence provided to indicate successful completion of the task. For example, the guidance listed states ‘participants need to demonstrate the skills and knowledge required to analyse and apply knowledge of logistics. Answers must be sufficiently detailed to satisfy the assessment requirements of the unit’. In addition, no evaluation criteria are included on the Project Checklist.

o The benchmark answer is included in the Knowledge Assessment tool V3.0 for Question 8.

o The completed student assessment materials for Simon Blake show the benchmark answers to the Theory Questions were included on the learners copy of the assessment instrument.

o The Assessor Guide does not provide sufficient guidance to the assessor on the level and detail required to demonstrate successful completion of the Assessment Tasks. For example:

Project Part 1 asks learners to provide a brief overview of requirements of OHS/WHS and the guidance to the assessor is broad and only includes ‘employees taking reasonable care for their own, PPE and adequate induction etc’.

The responses provided by completed students Simon Blake and Amanda Hill in relation to Project Part 1 (Provide a brief overview of requirements of OHS/WHS) vary, with neither response covering all examples provided in the Assessor Guide, however different assessors have deemed both answers to be satisfactory.

The learner’s responses to Project Part 2 vary considerably in the level of detail provided within each table and the Assessor Guide provides a number of possible responses however it is not clear how many of the responses need to be identified in the learner’s response to ensure consistency in assessment decisions across different learners and assessors.

Fairness - the assessment tools do not provide clear information to the learner and assessor to fully inform them of the assessment process and conditions.

o No guidance is provided to learners on the level of detail required for responses to demonstrate successful completion of the Theory Assessment Task.

o The guidance provided to assessors in some instances is broad and does not establish the evaluation criteria or provide specific instruction to the assessor on the level and detail of response required to indicate successful completion of the task.

TLIR4001 Monitor supplier performance

The evidence provided was not sufficient to determine that all training package requirements will be met.

Reliability - The assessment tools do not contain sufficient performance benchmarks for each skill/behaviour to be demonstrated, therefore it cannot be confirmed that all training package

requirements will be met and that consistent judgements will be made across a range of learners and assessors. For example, but not limited to: o No evidence of the acceptable responses to the Activities included in the Participant

Guide was provided. o The benchmarks included in the observation checklist in some instances are not

observable and do not establish criteria to judge the quality of performance. For example, ‘System records maintained and updated in accordance with enterprise information management systems and where applicable, regulatory requirements’.

o The Observation Checklist does not record details of the task/s the learner is performing while being observed and the context and conditions for the assessment are not clear. The Assessor Instructions only state ‘This checklist is to be used when observing the candidate complete a defined process of key steps or stages relating to this unit of competency’.

o The Observation Checklist provided for Ali Mohamad indicates the assessor observed the learner on three occasions however it is not clear what was observed by the assessor on those three occasions to determine that all training package requirements have been met.

Fairness - the assessment tools do not provide clear information to the learner and assessor to fully inform them of the assessment process and conditions.

o No guidance is provided to learners on the level of detail required for responses to demonstrate successful completion of the Knowledge Assessment Task.

TLI2010 Apply fatigue management strategies

The evidence provided for TLI2010 Apply fatigue management strategies does not address all the training package requirements and does not confirm assessment will be conducted in accordance with the Principles of Assessment and the Rules of Evidence, for the following reasons:

Validity and Sufficiency - the assessment tools do not address all unit of competency requirements. For example, but not limited to:

o The evidence provided does not demonstrate the RTO is gathering and assessing sufficient assessment evidence to confirm each learner has the practical skills required as per the unit of competency requirements.

o The evidence provided does not demonstrate the RTO is assessing the learners’ practical skills with only knowledge based assessments in place and the RTO is relying on evidence collected from a Third Party via the Third Party Report to assess learners’ practical skills and on job performance.

o The Third Party Report template provides clear instruction to the third party on what constitutes acceptable evidence including that ‘the third party must not tick and flick the items in the report and must provide detailed comments for each item explaining what was observed’. However, the completed third party reports reviewed on the student files for William Bryant and Kanwaljeet Singh Gill indicate the assessor is not ensuring quality evidence is collected to contribute to the assessor’s judgement about learner competency as both reports did not contain any comments in relation to what the third party observed or when the observations took place.

Reliability - The assessment tools do not contain sufficient performance benchmarks for each skill/behaviour to be demonstrated, therefore it cannot be confirmed that all training package requirements will be met and that consistent judgements will be made across a range of learners and assessors. For example, but not limited to:

o The Assessor Guide does not provide sufficient guidance to the assessor in relation to level of response required to satisfactorily answer all questions in Part A, Part B and Part C. In some instances, the assessor guide provides multiple answers for a question and does guide the assessor on whether all examples need to be provided to be deemed satisfactory or if one or two answers is sufficient. For example:

The review of the completed student assessment records for William Bryant show:

Australian Skills Quality Authority 32 of 38

Audit report - Apprentices – Trainees – Employment Ltd

- for Question 1 the student response included ‘Regular rest periods and A safe driving plan as per the law’ however the benchmark response provided in the assessor guide includes ‘Rest periods must be undertaken and recorded in the workplace diary according to regulations. A copy of the work diary pages are given to management’.

- For Question 2 the student response included ‘pull up and have a break 30 mins’ and the benchmark answer in the Assessor Guide includes ‘Mild stimulant coffee, wind down window until next rest area available or pull over and take a break’.

- Similar issues identified to those listed above with the completed student assessment records for Kanwaljeet Singh Gill. In addition, the learner’s response to Question 7 in the Learner Guide does not reflect the benchmark answer in the Assessor Guide however it was marked as correct.

o The Assessor Guide in some instances states answer may vary according to workplace policies or procedures. However, the RTO does not have access to the workplace policies and procedures and it is therefore unclear how the assessor can determine the learner’s response is in line with workplace policies or procedures.

Fairness - the assessment tools do not provide clear information to the learner and assessor to fully inform them of the assessment process and conditions.

o The assessment instructions do not provide learners or assessors with guidance on the level and detail of responses required to be deemed satisfactory. For example, where there are multiple responses to a question how many responses must the learner provide to be deemed satisfactory.

The example(s) listed above provide guidance on the area of non-compliance identified and are not a full list of each unit of competency requirement that has not been met. The organisation is responsible for providing evidence that demonstrates all unit of competency requirements are met.
