 TRAINER INSTRUCTIONS
This package has been compiled to assist Trainers in the on site, timely and accurate
correction of students written or verbal assessments. All pages of the “Assessment Package”
are to be returned to TAM Administration for the recording of the student’s attainment.
Forms of Assessment
The trainer is required to obtain at least 3 types of evidence but preferably more. These may
include but are not limited to the following:-

1. Written or Verbal Assessment (the later for those with writing or literary difficulties)
2. Observation by the Trainer of ‘on-site work’ called Practical Assessment for work
carried out on the student’s job site.
3. A Third Party Report completed by the employer after he is satisfied that the
student/trainee has demonstrated the required knowledge and skills consistently whilst
on the job.
4. A Photographic Record of work completed on site corroborated/signed by the
employer where possible with the trainee carrying out the actual work. These photos
should contain name, date, and the units that are supported by the photographic
evidence. (Only to be used as supportive evidence)
5. Other forms of evidence including recognition of prior learning and skills, corroborated
by a former employer accompanied by photographic evidence or a CT being a credit
transfer from a previous RTO where a trainee has already completed some or all of that
unit of competency.
Completing the Assessment Cover Sheet
• Trainer is to tick the Yes box against each Form of Evidence if the student has completed
this part successfully.
• Trainer is to place a cross (X) against any element attempted that is not successful.
• Do not place anything against evidence if the student has not attempted it.
• Ensure that you can provide evidence of all assessments attempted. A minimum of 3
items of assessment, at a satisfactory standard, are required for students to achieve
competency. Normally it is possible to provide more.
Student Feedback
Trainer is to ensure that at the completion of the training course (Qualification) an AQTF
feedback form is completed, and forwarded to Administration for processing.
Administration Processing
Administration personnel must ensure all relevant forms of assessment are attached prior to
processing the outcomes of the training and assessment. If there is any information not
finalised the complete package for that student must be returned to the relevant trainer to
rectify.
