TAEASS502/TAEASS401 Assessment: Plan & Develop Oil Spill Response

This assignment solution provides a comprehensive assessment booklet for TAE40116, specifically addressing the units of competency TAEASS502 (Design and develop assessment tools) and TAEASS401 (Plan assessment activities and processes) within the context of oil spill response (PUAOIL201 Use basic equipment operations for oil spill response). It includes a detailed assessment plan outlining the purpose, target group, context, and personnel involved in the assessment process. The plan details various assessment methods such as multiple-choice questions, job safety and environmental analysis (JSEA), session observations, and equipment deployment activities, along with the necessary resources and assessment arrangements. The assignment further provides assessment instructions and instruments, including a role-play/scenario/observation task template, a checklist for assessing candidate performance, and an assessor guide with a marking checklist to ensure effective evaluation of the student's ability to operate and manage oil spill response equipment safely and effectively.

Assessment Task 2
In this task, you are required to plan and organise assessment processes for three units of competency.
This assessment template resembles one assessment tool for one unit of competency. You are to duplicate this
booklet three times.
You will need to engage a qualified colleague who has a TAE qualification or has vocational expertise in the
relevant area to provide feedback to you on your training and assessment plan.
There are clear instructions throughout this resource and if at any time you have questions please do not hesitate to
contact your trainer/assessor.
Step 1 - Assessment Plan
You are required to develop an assessment plan for three different units of competency (one in this resource).
The assessment plan template is to be used for each of the threetraining and assessing environment assessment
plans and must be completed using a different unit of competency for each.
You are welcome to use your own templates if you wish. It is your responsibility to ensure your templates provide
all the information required.

Assessment arrangements
Timeline for assessment – when will each item
be assessed?
Written and practical tasks will be completed at the end of the
delivery of the unit. Everything to be complete at the end of
the 2 days
How long will be given to each assessment? Dependent on exercise being delivered,
Eg. Written Assessment 1 day
JSEA 30mins
Site Specific Deployment Plan 30-45 mins
Deployment Activity 4-5hrs
Is integration of activities possible? The JSEA and Site Specific Deployment Plan to coincide but
are not exercised or assessed in that manner to be sure people
are getting a full understanding of what is required for each.
Assessment arrangements continued

on assessment activities/portfolios submitted
NA
Any other issues that may impact on
assessment activities (for example,
sustainability)?
NA
Any reasonable adjustments identified? Adjustment of taking someone through the questions verbally
instead of writing.

Step 2 - Assessment Instructionsand Instruments
You are required to develop a complete assessment tool for the unit of competency indicated in the assessment plan
you have developed in the previous step.
Templates for the assessment tasks and methods are includedfor you to use if you wish. Noteyou are required to
use a range of assessment methods throughout your assessment plans (x3).
Assessments methods suitable to VET are listed on the following ASQA fact sheet:
https://www.asqa.gov.au/sites/g/files/net3521/f/Guide_to_developing_assessment_tools.pdf
Delete any templates you don’t use. Create your own or use any other templates as you wish.
You are required to complete (in most cases) at least two instruments for each assessment method chosen. For
instance; a written test for candidates to complete and a written test with answers for the assessor.
You must create at least one of your own assessment instruments per assessment plan. Other existing instruments
can be usedif suitable (acknowledge the source) and must be contextualised to suit your assessment plan/context.
