Submit via Slido poll your opinion about why we need to map assessment.
Poll Time
Does your response include the following?
To be compliant
Because the auditor said I
had to
Because it is a requirement of the Standards

On each question/ statement
On the cover sheet
On the checklist
At the back of each tool
Word document per unit
Spreadsheet
Others
Submit via Slido what
your preferred method of
mapping is.
In your RTO, what is the approach to mapping?
• Each faculty/training area develops their own process
• Each trainer uses what works for them
• The RTO sets the requirement and everyone follows it
Personal Preference
Organisational Procedures Consistent

What should be mapped?
Validity Any assessment decision of the RTO is justified, based on the
evidence of performance of the individual learner.
Validity requires:
assessment against the unit/s of competency and the
associated assessment requirements covers the broad range of
skills and knowledge that are essential to competent performance;
assessment of knowledge and skills is integrated with their practical
application;
assessment to be based on evidence that demonstrates that a
learner could demonstrate these skills and knowledge in other
similar situations; and
judgement of competence is based on evidence of learner
performance that is aligned to the unit/s of competency and
associated assessment requirements.

Streamlined Training Packages• Elements & Performance Criteria
• Foundation Skills (where required)
• Performance Evidence
• Knowledge Evidence
• Assessment Conditions if specific
Example Template
• Spreadsheet method
• Could be adapted to Word document
• Know what your assessment tools and methods are
• Learn the shortcut keys for copying and pasting!
• CTRL+C and CTRL+V
• Standalone and clustered assessment
Back to our assessment tools…
• Mapping checklists (not instructions)
• Doesn’t take much tweaking to add numbering to
the checklists
• Number is then matched to the line and column on
the spreadsheet
• Each item (number) can match to more than one
item on the spreadsheet
• Each item (number) can match to more than one
unit (clustered)

What happens when a unit is updated?
• Use the compare function on training.gov.au
• Look for what has changed
• Use the mapping matrix to narrow down your updates
