TAEASS402 Assess Competence – Pre-Class Activity

To ensure the day run smoothly and your class can achieve all the assessment activities that must be
observed during the class we have noted some important information and instructions to make sure
you are fully prepared and ready!

1. Watch the lessons for the unit TAEASS402 – this will cover theory about conducting assessment
and ensure you are comfortable with many of the terms used and concepts that will be put into
practice on the day.
Note: The recorded assessment workbook tutorial also includes demonstrations of the actual
assessment activities you will carry out in class as well as guidance for you if you wish to complete
all the short answer questions in Task One before attending (as these will not be covered during the
class, the focus for the class is only on the practical activity of conducting your assessments).

2. You must attend a test session to ensure Adobe Connect can open on your computer and your
webcam and microphone in Adobe work suitably for you to be able to complete the activities in the
class. Information on how to access test sessions is in the Learner Portal (“Student Support”).

3. You must complete the Time Management Plan (overpage) before attending class. Once you have
completed this, please save this word document with your name added to the title. As you will be a
candidate for other fellow students as well as you assessing them you will need to have this file
electronically on the day so you can exchange1 this with other students. Note a sample of this plan
is demonstrated in the Assessment Workbook Tutorial (Task 2).
You are required to develop one time management plan using the template overpage for your current
work role. You must use a form of digital technology such as a computer, iPad etc to complete the
assessment, this must be presented in an electronic format. The time management template
contains all the steps that you need to complete. The plan must identify:
• Your work role and goals
• Clearly outline the tasks to be completed - minimum number of 5 job tasks should be
included in the plan
• Explain the job tasks that are a priority and why
• You should set timeframes to this and use where possible electronic tools to assist them
such as electronic calendar /diary (phone or computer) with reminders of dates and
requirements
• Make sure that the plan identifies any relevant organisational policies and procedures to
their own work role e.g., Standard operating procedures (SOPs)
• Make sure the time management plan is completed legibly, clearly and follows
appropriate spelling and punctuation and provided in a suitable format for the assessor
• Identifies at least one potential problem that may arise and indicates how this will be
managed.
• Once the plan is complete, you will discuss this draft plan with a
peer/colleague/supervisor or other appropriate person. You will then use this plan to
monitor and keep track of your progress and any adjustments you may need to make. (A
typical period for the plan to cover would be one week).

We can show you how to share the file in a test session and will also teach you this on the day – you simply locate the file on
your computer and ‘drop and drag” it into the file box.
