Any observations and practical assessments must be recorded in the observation checklist.
All practical tasks should be demonstrated during the length of the course. As the instructor,
you must maintain a record demonstrating the date of the practical activities and any
comments relevant to the performance of each student. Where a student is not able to
demonstrate competence in a practical observation activity, further questioning should be put
in its place.
As the instructor, you could be assessing the student’s literacy, numeracy and language skills,
as well as the content and context of his/her answers.In some cases, you will have to adjust
and amend the assessment tools, using different and varied methods (such as oral
assessment), to allow students to be assessed according to their needs and abilities.

Assessment Tool Definitions
Assessment Tool How is it used? What is it?
Learner Guide
(To be used as an informational guide)
The Learner Guide links with the Learner
Workbook as it provides the information
given during sessions and more. It can help
students to further their knowledge and to
also complete the activities.
Learner Workbook Activities
(Entire completion is required)
Each student should be given a Learner
Workbook which will hold many activities,
both formative and summative, that all need
to be completed in conjunction with the
appropriate sessions. The PowerPoint,
Learner Guide and instructor should
provide further information to help with the
activities.
Observation/Demonstration
(To be completed for each numbered point as
stated on the checklist)
An observation should be completed for
each of the students by the instructor. If the
tasks aren’t everyday actions, a simulated
environment is acceptable, or a
demonstration can be set up. An
observation checklist can be found at the
end of this document.
Skills and Knowledge Activity
(Entire completion is required)
A Skills and Knowledge Activity is a
summative assessment and is found before
the Major Activity in the Learner
Workbook. This should take between 1-2
hours and every student should complete
this work. It is a requirement for each unit
to check knowledge and understanding of
the foundation skills and knowledge
evidence.
Major Activity A Major Activity is a summative

P a g e | 11
(Entire completion is required) assessment and can be found in the Learner
Workbook, after all the activities are
completed. This is an extended piece of
summative assessment which should take
anywhere between 1-2 hours and every
student should complete this work. It is a
requirement for each unit to check
knowledge and understanding.

P a g e | 12
Observation/Demonstration
Throughout this unit, the learner will be expected to show their competency of the elements
through observations or demonstrations. The observations and demonstrations will be
completed as well as the formative and summative assessments found in the Learner
Workbook. An explanation of demonstrations and observations:
Demonstration is off-the-job
A demonstrationwill require:
 Performing a skill or task that is asked of you
 Undertakinga simulation exercise
Observation is on-the-job
The observation will usually require:
 Performing a work based skill or task
 Interaction with colleagues and/or customers
The observation/demonstration will take place either in the workplace or the training
environment, depending on the task to be undertaken and whether it is an observation or
demonstration. Each task must be observed. You will need to ensure you provide the learner
with the correct equipment and/or materials to complete the task. You will also need to
inform the learner of the time they have to complete the task; this will once again vary,
depending on the task.
Learner should be able to demonstrate they can:
 Confirm organisation vision and mission
 Analyse internal and external environment
 Write strategic plan
 Implement strategic plan
Learners should also demonstrate the following skills:
 Reading
