Companion volumes available from the IBSA website:

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
(Entire completion is required)
A Major Activity is a summative 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.

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:
1. Research planning requirements
2. Develop human resource strategic plan
3. Implement human resource strategic plan
Learners should also demonstrate the following skills:
Reading
Writing
Oral communication
Numeracy
Navigate the world of work
Interact with others
Get the work done.
