Instructions
The assessments in this workbook is divided into two (2) categories: Knowledge
Assessment and Practical Assessment.
The questions under Knowledge Assessment are all in a short answer format. The
assessment tasks requiring practical demonstration of skills are covered in the
Practical Assessment. You must answer all questions using your own words.
However, you may reference your Learner Guide and other relevant resources and
learning materials to complete this assessment.
Some questions cover processes you would likely encounter in a workplace. Ideally,
you should be able to answer these questions based on the processes that are
currently in place in your workplace. However, if you do not currently have access to
a workplace, then answer the questions based on processes that should be
implemented in a typical workplace setting.
Competency-Based Assessments
Definition of Competency
Assessment in this context can be defined as:
The fair, valid, reliable and flexible gathering and recording of evidence to support
the judgement on whether competency has been achieved. Skills and knowledge
(developed either in a structured learning situation, at work, or in some other context)
are assessed against national standards of competence required by industry, rather
than compared with the skills and knowledge of other learners.
Rules of Evidence
When collecting evidence, there are certain rules that apply to that evidence. All
evidence must be valid, sufficient, authentic and current:
Valid
Evidence gathered should meet the requirements of the unit of competency.
This evidence should match, or at least reflect, the type of performance that is
to be assessed, whether it covers knowledge, skills or attitudes.
Sufficient
This rule relates to the amount of evidence gathered. It is imperative that
enough evidence is gathered to satisfy the requirements that the learner is
competent in all aspects of the unit of competency.
Authentic
When evidence is gathered the assessor must be satisfied that evidence is
the learner’s own work.
Current
This relates to the recency of the evidence and whether the evidence relates
to current abilities.

Dimensions of Competency
The national concept of competency includes all aspects of work performance and
not only narrow task skills. The four (4) dimensions of competency are:
1. Task skills
2. Task management skills
3. Contingency management skills
4. Job or role environment skills
Reasonable Adjustment
Adapted Reasonable Adjustment in teaching, learning and assessment for learners
with a disability - November 2010 - Prepared by - Queensland VET Development
Centre
Reasonable adjustment in VET is the term applied to modifying the learning
environment or making changes to the training delivered to assist a learner with a
disability. A reasonable adjustment can be as simple as changing classrooms to be
closer to amenities or installing a particular type of software on a computer for a
person with vision impairment.
Why make a reasonable adjustment?
We make reasonable adjustments in VET to make sure that learners with a disability
have:
The same learning opportunities as learners without a disability, and
The same opportunity to perform and complete assessments as those without
a disability.
Reasonable adjustment applied to participation in teaching, learning and
assessment activities can include:
Customising resources and assessment activities within the training package
or accredited course
Modifying the presentation medium
Learner support
Use of assistive/adaptive technologies
Making information accessible both before enrollment and during the course
Monitoring the adjustments to ensure learner needs continue to be met
Assistive/Adaptive Technologies
Assistive/Adaptive technology means ‘software or hardware that has been
specifically designed to assist people with disabilities in carrying out daily activities’
(World Wide Web Consortium - W3C). It includes screen readers, magnifiers, voice
recognition software, alternative keyboards, devices for grasping, visual alert
systems, digital note takers.
IMPORTANT:
Reasonable adjustment made for collecting learner assessment evidence must
not impact on the standard expected by the workplace, as expressed by the
relevant unit(s) of competency. For example, if the assessment were gathering
evidence of the learner’s competency in writing, allowing the learner to
complete the assessment verbally would not be a valid assessment method.
The method of assessment used by any reasonable adjustment must still meet
the competency requirements.
Assessment Methods
This workbook uses the following assessment method(s):
Knowledge Assessment – A set of generic and workplace questions testing
the learner’s general knowledge and understanding of the general theory
behind the unit.
Practical Assessment – A set of tasks or activities completed according to
set instructions and guidelines to meet the requirements of the relevant unit.
These tasks and activities require you to have access to a workplace.

Practical Assessment
Instructions
The Practical Assessment is a set of tasks that must be completed in a workplace,
or in an environment with conditions similar to that of a real workplace.
This assessment will help you demonstrate skill requirements relevant to Using food
preparation equipment (Release 1)
Type of Assessment
This summative assessment will enable your Assessor to make a judgement of competency
based on the submission of your completed assignments against the requirements of this
unit of competency.
Assessor Instructions
The Assessment Benchmark developed for each unit of competency is the evidence criteria
used to judge the quality of performance (i.e. the assessment decision-making rules).
Assessors must use these benchmarks to make judgement on whether competency has
been achieved and to determine if the participant has performed to the standard expected to
meet unit requirement and learning outcomes. Competency results for each unit are
recorded in the Record of Assessment Form.
Reasonable Adjustment
The Training Provider will allow flexibility in relation to the way in which each unit is
delivered and assessed based on the learner’s requirement. The following are the
reasonable adjustments for this unit:

Assessment Overview
Assessment Coding
Assessment of this program of study is based on competency-based principles.
S = Satisfactory
NS = Not Satisfactory
Learners who fail to perform satisfactorily for the assessment in the prescribed
date may be assessed as ‘not satisfactory’. You are required to be assessed as
‘Satisfactory’ on completion of Assessments assigned by your assessor for this
unit of competency.
Re-assessment
Any re-assessment is conducted as soon as practicable after you have been
informed of the requirement to be re-assessed and have been given the
opportunity to be re-trained and assimilate the training. You are re-assessed in
only the areas assessed NS. It is at the assessor/s discretion to re-assess the
entire assessment should it be demonstrated an overall understanding of this unit
has not been achieved.
Learners that are assessed “satisfactory” after re-assessment of areas deemed
NS will achieve competency for this assignment.
LEARNER DECLARATION
I acknowledge the assessment process has been explained. I agreed to
undertake the assessment. I am aware of the outcome of the assessment. I
am aware of the Training Provider’s appeals process, should the need arise. I
also understand I must be assessed as ‘satisfactory’ in all parts of the
assessment to gain a competent result for this unit of competency. I declare the
work contained in this assessment is my own, except where acknowledgement
of sources is made. I understand a person found responsible for academic
misconduct will be subject to disciplinary action (refer to student handbook).
