In particular assessors should check that the learner must demonstrate an ability to consider a range of options and make decisions about:
Measure the quality of the observed practical performance as well as the theory and underpinning knowledge behind it.
Use methods that are varied to allow the learner to display thinking and decision making in the demonstration of practical performance.
Maintain a balance between practical performance and theoretical assessment methods to ensure each is measured in accordance with the level of the qualification.
The relationship between practical and theoretical is not fixed but varies according to the type and level of qualification.
Integrated Assessment:
Before qualifying, the learners will be expected to demonstrate competence in a practical situation that integrates the assessment of all specific outcomes, for all unit standards. In addition, during the learning process for each Unit Standard, learners will be expected to write tests to assess underpinning knowledge, and demonstrate their skills in terms of specific outcomes for the relevant Unit Standard in assignments and practical exams.
Integrated assessment provides learners with an opportunity to display an ability to integrate practical performance, actions, concepts and theory across unit standards to achieve competence in relation to the purpose of this qualification.
