Assessment must address the scope of this unit and reflect all components of the unit. A range of appropriate assessment methods and evidence-gathering techniques must be used to determine competency. A judgement of competency should only be made when the assessor is confident that the required outcomes of the unit have been achieved and that consistent performance has been demonstrated.

Evidence of the ability to:
actively participate in a minimum of two validation sessions or meetings which, in combination, address the critical aspects of validation using different validation approaches and activities
clearly explain purposes of validation and the legal and ethical responsibilities of assessors
collate documentation relating to validation process in a logical manner
demonstrate communication and liaison with relevant people
provide feedback and interpret documentation in validation sessions
record contribution to validation findings.
Context of and specific resources for assessment
