Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included.
Purpose of assessment	Recognition of prior learning, determination of award classification level or identification of training needed
Evidence required	Should address task skills, task management, contingency management application
Assessment procedure	Observation, documentation, demonstration, projects, oral tests, computer based assessment, written tests
