Guidelines for Assessment

1. Criteria for assessment for each Qualification Pack will be created by the Sector Skill Council.
Each Performance Criteria (PC) will be assigned marks proportional to its importance in NOS.
SSC will also lay down proportion of marks for Theory and Skills Practical for each PC
2. The assessment for the theory part will be based on knowledge bank of questions created by
the SSC
3. Individual assessment agencies will create unique question papers for theory part for each
candidate at each examination/training center (as per assessment criteria below)
4. Individual assessment agencies will create unique evaluations for skill practical for every
student at each examination/training center based on this criteria
5. To pass the Qualification Pack, every trainee should score a minimum of 70% in every NOS
6. In case of successfully passing only certain number of NOS's, the trainee is eligible to take
subsequent assessment on the balance NOS's to pass the Qualification Pack

Accommodation Guidelines recommended for Inclusive Trainers
Persons with Speech and Hearing Impairment
Characteristics
 Use other senses as mediums of learning. (Use gestures, body language, expressions, lip
reading etc.)
 Use adapted material such as visual or sight vocabulary to provide first-hand experience.
 Use assistive devices such as hearing aid, loop system etc.
 Teach how to access sound-based information.

Guidelines for Trainers

 Make sure you are aware of the learners’ language abilities and preferred learning style to
ensure inclusion into the group.
 When you have a student with SHI in the group, reduce background noise or, request for a
classroom that is away from noise. Make sure you have the whole group’s attention before
starting the session.
 Allow SHI students to sit where they wish. SHI students who can read the lip should sit near
the front. (Optimum distance for lip-reading is considered to be about 6 feet.)
 Face the SHI student when speaking.
 Use clear speech.
 Make sure the room is well lit to allow the student with SHI to see your facial expression, signing
and/or lip read.
 Use assistive device where available, to facilitate teaching-learning in the classroom.
 Arrange the classroom so that students can see each other, e.g., organizing the class in a circle
or semicircle allows all students to see each other.
 Use shorter sentences, clearer speech.
 Associate words with real objects, pictures; for example, the colour concept
 Use pictures (flash cards), real objects, real experiences, dramatization, and activities.
 You can write key points on the board or chart.
 Encourage other people or staff to develop communication strategies so that they can get into
the style of students with SHI
