program, assessment continues throughout the program until the participant either achieves
competency in the assessment tasks or a further training need is identified and addressed.

• Outlining the assessment methods
• Providing instructions for the assessor

• Being mapped to the unit of competency through a separate mapping document
• Ensuring assessment is summative
