This kit of materials was developed from research which investigated the range of strategies that registered training organisations (RTOs) currently have in place to maintain quality at various points in the assessment process. The research drew on the experience of practicing assessors who identified aspects of the assessment process that they felt most required quality assurance strategies to increase assessor confidence. Section one of the resource includes an overview of how RTOs can develop a validation or moderation process, a range of checklists that assessors can use and examples of how some RTOs have developed validation strategies. Section two includes guidelines for setting up simulated assessment and gathering third-party evidence as well as examples of approaches taken by a number of RTOs. Section three includes guidelines for training organisations on how and why to document partnership and collaborative assessment arrangements with a range of examples of how particular organisations have improved the quality of their assessment processes through partnerships. A background report providing a literature review and history of approaches to quality assurance of assessment in the vocational education and training (VET) sector in Australia and overseas is indexed at TD/TNC 76.12.
