Webinar: Systematic validation of assessment - what are you checking?

Recorded on 07/11/2018, this webinar looked at a range of assessment validation components as ‘best practice’ opportunities that inform continuously improved assessment services.

Topic overview:

Whilst systematic validation of assessment is a requirement of the Standards for RTOs 2015, this process is a prime opportunity for RTOs to ensure the quality implementation of its assessment services and provide industry relevant projects and tasks that align to current workplace skill requirements.  When asking yourself the question ‘What am I checking?’, it is important to cover all aspects that impact upon, and result from, the assessment process including literacy and numeracy requirements, levels of learning, industry requirements and interim feedback.
