ASSESSMENT VALIDATION
Step 1: Initial consultation
✅ We start with a phone or email discussion to understand your RTO’s specific needs.
✅ We discuss the units of competency you need to have reviewed and any concerns you may have.
✅ We outline our process and what we require from you to complete a thorough review.
Step 2: What we need from you
To conduct a detailed and effective review, we require the following documents:
📌 Assessment materials – including theory and practical assessment tools.
📌 Learner guides – to ensure students are provided with the required knowledge.
📌 Current mapping document – to verify alignment with unit requirements.
📌 Any additional supporting documents – such as assessor guides, observation checklists, or workplace requirements.
Step 3: Our assessment validation process
Once we receive your materials, we undertake a detailed compliance review, which includes:
1. Assessment review
- Checking that all unit of competency requirements are fully covered.
- Ensuring assessment tasks align with performance evidence and knowledge evidence.
- Reviewing methods of assessment for validity and reliability (e.g. written, practical, third-party reports).
- Evaluating authentication methods to ensure students are providing genuine, original work.
- Reviewing student and assessor instructions for clarity and compliance.
- Examining practical assessment tasks to ensure they are achievable, realistic, and align with industry expectations.
2. Learner material review
- Ensuring that learner guides and resources contain all necessary knowledge for students to complete assessments.
- Identifying any gaps where students may not have access to required learning content.
- Ensuring language and literacy levels are appropriate for the target learner group.
3. Mapping validation
- Checking that all elements, performance criteria, and assessment requirements are correctly mapped.
- Ensuring knowledge evidence, performance evidence, and foundation skills are addressed in assessment tasks.
- Identifying any gaps, over-assessment, or under-assessment.
Step 4: Detailed validation report

✅ All findings related to assessment compliance, learner materials, and mapping.
