Conduct Competency Assessment

In conducting a competency assessment, I must prepare and check the assessment venue.
Ensure the safety and completeness of the materials tools and equipment. Ensure also the
completeness of the Assessment packages.

I will explain and orient the candidates about the purpose of the assessment. Give an overview
about the qualification to be assessed. Orient them about the procedure to be undertaken. Tell them
about the results and confidentiality. Orient them the do’s and don’ts before and during the assessment.
Tell them about the allowable and reasonable adjustments.

The purpose of giving an orientation is that the candidates needs to be aware about the
assessment procedure. Giving orientation leads them to a successful assessment.

To make sure that the candidate taking the assessment is the same person in the application;
The candidate must present a valid id to verify their identity. Then compare the signature from the
application form and the attendance sheet.

To make sure that the candidate understands the task to be performed is by asking the
candidate if there is any questions or clarifications. Informing them twice will also help.

The Do’s of an assessor while observing the candidate performing the task is to orient the
candidate about the procedure by letting the candidate reading the specific instructions. Allow the
candidate for their personal necessities. Always observe transparency in recording the evidences based
the on the performance of the candidate use rating sheets/ assessor’s guide. The don’ts are, do not give
feedback if there are two or more candidate inside the room. Do not be bias or subjective. Do not help
candidate once the demonstration started.

Adults wants their learning to practical. Adults are very enthusiastic to learning when the
learnings are very applicable to real life situation. Adults do not learn in the same way. Provide learning
materials that cater to their learning styles.

The main basis of the decision are the rating sheet, assessor’s guide and constructive feedback.
Since these tools were made according to competency standards then I think this is just enough.

In providing the feedback to the students, tell them their strength and follow their weakness but
assure them that they still enough time to improve and acquire the knowledge and skills.
