Avi aviation Training Package 0 Case for Endorsement

Supporting sound assessment practice

As a minimum, assessors and assessment practices must satisfy applicable regulatory requirements, which include requirements in the Standards for Registered Training Organisations current at the time of assessment.

Assessment must occur in workplace operational situations. Where this is not appropriate, assessment must occur in simulated workplace operational situations that reflect workplace conditions. Assessment processes and techniques must be appropriate to the language, literacy and numeracy requirements of the work being performed and the needs of the candidate.

Resources for assessment must include access to:

a range of relevant exercises, case studies and/or simulations

acceptable means of simulation assessment

applicable documentation including workplace procedures, regulations, codes of practice and operation manuals

relevant materials, tools, equipment and personal protective equipment currently used in industry.

Evidence required to demonstrate competence must be relevant to, and satisfy all of the requirements of the elements, performance criteria and range of conditions on at least one occasion. Where multiple iterations of an assessment event are required, this is clearly articulated by reference to the enabling regulatory requirements, or described in performance evidence and/or knowledge evidence.

The components of the qualifications are specific to industry requirements and units need to be suitably assessed with respect to the dimensions of competency. The assessment requirements provide detail about the performance evidence and knowledge evidence. Units also include cognitive skills and practical components, which must be adequately assessed.

Aviation Industry specific information and advice is provided to Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) in the AVI Aviation Training Package CVIG Release 3.0 to indicate industry’s expectations and requirements of training delivery and assessment. Defence Aviation and civil sector RTOs were involved in the units of competency, qualifications and Skill Sets review process to ensure they could be successfully implemented in a practical setting.
