Guidance on methods/instruments of assessment Occupational skills (OS) unit This unit is designed to assess the skills of learners in the workplace. Observation of learner performance can only be carried out on-the-job and should always be the primary and preferred source of evidence of competent performance. Collection of supplementary evidence of performance can be used to further substantiate, support and expand the evidence base for competent performance where this is necessary. This may arise in situations where evidence from direct observation of the learners on-the-job is deemed insufficient to fully meet the required standards. Supplementary evidence may include: witness testimony questioning professional discussion product and photographic evidence relevant active documentation, reports, presentations other valid evidence which relates directly to learner performance on-the job SQA s Guide to Assessment is designed to provide support for everyone who assesses for SQA qualifications. It looks at the principles of assessment, and brings together information on assessment in general as well as on best practice in assessment.
