Create TWO different interactive CD-ROMs/DVDs which start automatically, have no errors in any of the interactive functions and besides autorun they will link with a reader for computers without a reader installed
Evidence for assessment may be gathered from assessment of the unit of competency alone or through an integrated assessment activity

Context of and specific resources for assessment
Assessment must ensure:
assessment may take place on the job, off the job or a combination of these. Off the job assessment must be undertaken in a closely simulated workplace environment
appropriate computer hardware and software

Method of assessment
A range of assessment methods should be used to assess practical skills and knowledge. The following examples are appropriate for this unit:
direct questioning combined with review of portfolios of evidence and third party workplace reports of on-the-job performance by the candidate.


Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector, workplace and job role is recommended.
