Integrated Assessment:
The Skills Development Provider (SDP) uses the curriculum to guide stipulated internal assessment criteria and weighting. The SDP also apply the scope of practical skills and applied knowledge as stipulated by the internal assessment criteria. This formative assessment leads to entrance into the integrated external summative assessment.
Integrated Summative Assessment:
An external integrated summative assessment, conducted through the Assessment Quality Partner, is required for the issuing of this qualification. The external assessment covers the following focus areas:
Carry out geological sampling activities.
Carry out geological data collection activities.
Perform data collection and processing activities.
The external assessment is conducted through an on-the-job evaluation by a registered assessor. The assessor is no directly involved in the training or internal assessment of the learner.
