This learner guide explores competence assessment in vocational education, focusing on effective strategies and best practices. Emphasising the value of authentic assessment methods such as practical exams and performance observations, the guide delves into crucial aspects such as developing competency-based assessment tools, ensuring reliability and validity, integrating technology for efficient management, and embracing holistic assessment approaches.
Additionally, it underscores the significance of recognising prior learning and implementing fair and inclusive assessment practices. By following these principles, vocational educators can enhance the quality and relevance of their programs, equipping learners with the skills essential for workplace success.

Participating in assessment validation is an essential process that ensures the validity and reliability of assessment instruments. Assessment validation is a critical step in the assessment development process, as it helps ensure that the assessment is measuring what it is intended to measure and that the scores obtained are accurate and meaningful. 

Assessment validation involves a rigorous and systematic evaluation of the assessment instrument, including its content, format, and administration procedures. By participating in assessment validation, validators can contribute to improving the quality of assessment instruments and ultimately enhance the fairness and accuracy of assessments for all individuals who take them. 

Integrate core skills support into training and assessment guide describes the skills and knowledge needed to identify core skill demands in nationally recognised training products, and in workplace, learning and assessment context tasks and texts.
