4 SUPPORTING EVIDENCE ASSESSMENT To prepare for assessment of this unit of competency, assessors should refer to the RII Assessment Materials Overview Guide. This guide includes directions on how to conduct an assessment for Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL). Directions This supporting evidence assessment can be undertaken at any stage. The assessment covers various aspects of an employee s job performance, workplace activities and previous experience which can help to form a view of his/her competence against the unit of competency. Not all methods of gathering supporting evidence need to be used for each element. The assessor should gather enough evidence to support a final decision on the employee s competence, taking into account whether separate practical and theory assessments have also been undertaken. Tick ( ) the box as Satisfactory if enough supporting evidence has been gathered to form the view that the employee shows satisfactory performance overall for that particular element. Cross (X) the box where there is not enough supporting evidence to show that the employee has achieved satisfactory performance against that particular element. 4
