UNIT STANDARD NOTES

Methods and tools of assessment:

The following methods of assessment have been identified as the preferred measurement and assessment of learner competence in the above-mentioned Performance Assessment Criteria

1. Written tests/ case studies/ projects
2. Role-play
3. Structured classroom discussions
4. Portfolio of evidence

These methods must be carefully selected based on the purpose of the assessment (For example, the written method could be used to assess knowledge or on-job demonstration for practical competence). The assessment must integrate a number of different methods (no less than three of those detailed above) in order to give the assessor reliable and valid proof of competence and evidence of required attitudes

The following tools may be used to support the above mentioned minimum assessment methods:

Valid, reliable and authentic evidence (presented as a portfolio of evidence) from past achievements and experience may serve to supplement the assessment of applied competence. The portfolio should include inter alia:

1. Written statements from persons (e.g. current and/or previous employer, colleague, peer, manager, external customers) confirming competence of the learner
2. Relevant certificates or awards
3. Previous assessment records
4. Journals/logbook
