Participate in assessment validation

This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to participate in the validation of assessment tools, practices and judgements, including in:

• pre-assessment validation of assessment tools before they are first used with candidates, and post-assessment validation of the tools after having been used to assess candidates
• post-assessment validation of practices and judgements.

The unit applies to vocational education and training (VET) trainers and assessors with relevant industry experience to participate in validation activities according to organisational policies and procedures. Validation activities encompass the quality review of the assessment tools, practices and judgements. Participants in the validation do not lead the validation process.
