What the course is for

An Assessment Practitioner plans for, conducts and administers the assessment of learner competence in an occupational context.

What you will be able to do

  • Apply principles of good assessment practice within the occupational learning framework.
  • Evaluate and adapt evidence collection methods, tools and instruments to the context.
  • Make assessment decisions and give feedback in line with accepted standards.
  • Complete and maintain documentation in line with quality management requirements.
  • Recognise prior learning and assure learner safety during delivery.

Why it matters

Assessment underpins many other qualifications and skills sets, and replaces the expired unit standard 115753 used to train assessors. Assessment Practitioner status can also lead to self-employment.
