Integrated Assessment:
The unit standards on which this qualification is based, describe the competent performance in Dry Lumber Processing, and lay down the criteria by which competence should be judged, as well as the range of circumstances in which competence should be demonstrated.
For each unit standard there are corresponding performance assessment criteria, which describe the evidence an assessor should use to determine a learner`s competence.
Integrated assessment methods and tools for this qualification must allow the learner to demonstrate that he/she has acquired the prescribed knowledge of and can safely and efficiently apply the required competence in the relevant aspects of Dry Lumber Processing, as described in paragraph 6 (purpose of this qualification) and paragraph 8 (exit-level outcomes).
These tools are written or oral tests to determine level of knowledge and on-the-job observation, to determine applied competence, as summative assessment, for all the exit level outcomes at the completion of the learning programme.
The tools that can be used for formative assessment during and at the completion of the learning programme for each of the exit level outcomes are oral testing, on-the-job-observation, role-play situations and structured classroom discussions. The assessor/s can decide which method will be the most appropriate in the particular situation where the assessment is taking place.
A portfolio of evidence of the outcomes of all these assessments for each learner must be built up for record purposes.
This portfolio may also include, inter alia:
Written statements from e.g. current or previous employer, colleagues, peers, managers, i.e. persons who can supply relevant references
Relevant awards or certificates
Previous assessment records
Journals/logbook, records of work performance
The currently unemployed who followed a learning programme to achieve this qualification, as well as persons seeking recognition of prior learning, can be assessed in the same way.
