3 Assessment Conditions Assessment Condition from the Unit of Competency Assessment must be conducted in a safe environment where evidence gathered demonstrates consistent performance of typical activities experienced in creative arts industry environments. The assessment environment must include access to performances where basic lighting equipment and accessories are used. Assessors of this unit must satisfy the requirements for assessors in applicable vocational educational and training legislation, frameworks and/or standards. How the RTO is meeting the Assessment Conditions Assessment 1: Knowledge based test Written assessments will be conducted in a safe environment by a qualified trainer and assessor where evidence gathered demonstrates consistent performance of typical activities experienced in the entertainment industry field of work. Assessment 2: Project The assessment requires the student to undertake a research task using a computer and access to the internet. The RTO will provide the student with these resources for time when the project will be worked on in class. When working on the project in their own time, the student will need to have computer and internet access. For any student that does not have these resources at home, extra classroom time will be allocated. Assessment 3: Practical Assessment and Competency Conversation The trainer will provide a performance space with conditions typical of an entertainment production environment. Noise levels, production flow, interruptions and time variances will be typical of those experienced in an entertainment production environment. The assessment environment will include access to lighting designs and productions that require the implementation of lighting designs and all of the necessary equipment to complete the assessment. Equipment will include- Lighting fixtures and accessories Rigging points and lighting bars Patch points Dimmers Light control desks Communications PPE Manual handling equipment Page 3 of 10

9 Principles of Assessment Validity The validity of assessments is ensured by focusing on the appropriate areas of competence and skills as per the mapping above. All mandatory aspects of unit competency are mapped. Assessment tasks have been developed that resemble workplace expectations. The RTO uses multiple approaches to assessment including theoretical (knowledge based tests and written assessment) and practical (observation log and practical assessment). Reliability The reliability of assessments is ensured by comparing assessment processes of various assessors and regular moderation and validation as per RTO policies and procedures. Evidence is also collected over a period of time locations, times and circumstances. Students sign all assessments confirming their identity and that the assessments provided are completed by themselves. Fairness Fairness is ensured through clear explanations of expectations for assessments with students within all assessments. Opportunities for review and appeal are provided to students in respect to assessments of competency. The RTO also has set policies and procedures regarding reasonable adjustment for student assessment. Fairness is also considered and reviewed as part of RTO moderation and validation processes. Feedback about fairness is included in the AQTF Learner Survey which is collected and reviewed annually by management and staff. Flexibility Flexibility is demonstrated through Recognition of Prior Learning policies and procedures and an ongoing commitment to be available for students so they can proceed readily with a range of assessment options for competency determination. In addition, some assessments are negotiated with the students as to mutually convenient times. Where students are unable to attend assessments, there are procedures in place to allow for makeup classes and assessments. Page 9 of 10

10 Rules of Evidence Validity The validity of assessments is ensured by focusing on the appropriate areas of competence and skills as per the mapping above. All mandatory aspects of unit competency are mapped. Assessment tasks have been developed that resemble workplace expectations. The RTO uses multiple approaches to assessment including theoretical (knowledge based tests and written assessment) and practical (observation log and practical assessment). Current Currency is ensured as assessments and training materials are regularly reviewed to ensure they meet current industry standards. Those students who undertake this unit via RPL are deemed competent through the process outlined in the Recognition of Prior Learning procedures and are required to demonstrate currency of skills and knowledge as part of this process. Sufficient Sufficient evidence is gathered as students must demonstrate competence over a period of time. Therefore competency is demonstrated as a process, not solely as an event. This ensures that students demonstrate competencies which are able to be repeated. As assessments occur face to face, assessors can also ensure that competency matches language, literacy and numeracy levels. Authentic Authentic evidence is ensured as assessments occur in class settings and in the workplace under supervision of qualified assessors, as such KBT s and practical assessments are done in person and face to face. Written assignments are submitted with coversheets where students must sign a declaration stating that work submitted is their own. Page 10 of 10
