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.
Assessment criteria should be clearly stated to the learner at the beginning of the
learning process.
Assessment should be holistic. That is, it aims to assess as many elements and/or
units of competency as is feasible at one time.
In competency assessment, a learner receives one of only two outcomes –
competent or not yet competent.
The basis of assessment is in applying knowledge for some purpose. In a
competency system, knowledge for the sake of knowledge is seen to be ineffectual
unless it assists a person to perform a task to the level required in the workplace.
The emphasis in assessment is on assessable outcomes that are clearly stated for
the trainer and learner. Assessable outcomes are tied to the relevant industry
competency standards where these exist. Where such competencies do not exist,
the outcomes are based upon those identified in a training needs analysis.
Assessing Nationally-Recognised Training
Developing and conducting assessment, in an Australian vocational education and training
context, is founded on the Principles of Assessment and the Rules of Evidence:
Principles of Assessment
Assessment must be valid
o Assessment must include the full range of skills and knowledge needed to
demonstrate competency.
o Assessment must include the combination of knowledge and skills with their
practical application.
o Assessment, where possible, must include judgements based on evidence
drawn from a number of occasions and across a number of contexts.
Assessment must be reliable
o Assessment must be reliable and must be regularly reviewed to ensure that
assessors are making decisions in a consistent manner.
o Assessors must be trained in national competency standards for assessors to
ensure reliability.
Assessment must be flexible
o Assessment, where possible, must cover both the on and off-the-job
components of training within a course.
o Assessment must provide for the recognition of knowledge, skills and
attitudes regardless of how they have been acquired.
o Assessment must be made accessible to learners through a variety of
delivery modes, so they can proceed through modularised training packages
to gain competencies.
o Assessment must be mutually developed and agreed upon between assessor
and the assessed.
o Assessment must be able to be challenged. Appropriate mechanisms must
be made for reassessment as a result of challenge.
Assessment must be fair
o Assessment process must consider the individual needs of the learner.
o Assessment must provide for reasonable adjustments, where appropriate, to
take into account the individual learner’s needs.
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.
(Source: Training in Australia by M Tovey, D Lawlor)
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.
A complete copy of the above unit of competency can be downloaded from the TGA
website:

The Context for Assessment
To complete the assessments in this workbook, students need to have access to their
learning materials and the Internet. The Knowledge Assessment may be completed wholly at
the learner’s home or chosen place of study. The Practical Assessment must be completed
in a workplace or in a simulated environment.
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.

environment with conditions similar to that of a real workplace.
This assessment will help you demonstrate skill requirements relevant to SITHCCC006 -
Preparing appetisers and salads (Release 1)
Assessment Overview
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:
