Template: Pre-use Validation of Assessment Tools

Outcome Standard 1.3 requires that for RTOs:
"The assessment system is fit-for-purpose and consistent with the training product"
 
The requirements go on to stipulate that RTOs must demonstrate 1.3.2:
a) the assessment is consistent with the requirements of the training product;
b) assessment tools are reviewed prior to use to ensure assessment can be conducted in a way that is consistent with the principles of assessment and rules of evidence set out under Standard 1.4; and
c) the outcomes of any such reviews inform any necessary changes to assessment tools.
 
Pre-use validation of assessment tools is the analysis required to confirm an RTO will deploy tools fit-for-purpose and that will set the foundation for positive outcomes in the review of assessment judgements activity mandated to occur at least once every five years.
