Arrangements for
managing
consistency
A portfolio of evidence of assessment against qualification outcomes must
be submitted to The Skills Organisation by the end of February for the
preceding year. The portfolio will consist of the following:
1. Samples of candidate’s performance. This may be demonstrated
through submission of completed assessment activities contained in
the The Skills Organisation training and assessment resources.
Completed Log Books or company documentation, required for unit
standards 3789 and 3801 must also be submitted as part of
candidate’s evidence.
2. Where The Skills Organisation assessment resources are not used,
samples of the assessment activities, resources, and materials,
along with any marking schedules used.
A panel made up of crane industry representatives and moderators has
been constituted to support the consistency process. Their role is to
conduct a review of the portfolios of evidence to determine consistency with
qualification outcomes.
The Skills Organisation will implement remedial processes with a
programme provider or employer, in a supportive environment, where a
decision is inconsistent with qualification outcomes.
The panel will report results of portfolio review of evidence to the party that
submitted the portfolio within 4 weeks of receipt. The costs of determining
consistency with qualification outcomes will be met by The Skills
Organisation.
Consistency of assessment against the mandatory unit standards is
covered by the relevant Consent and Moderation Requirements (CMR).
The CMR for each standard is noted on that standard.
