Participants will explore how validation can be used to review assessment tools, evidence and assessment judgements, identify opportunities for improvement and support greater consistency between assessors.

Through practical activities and realistic VET scenarios, participants will work through the validation process and consider how findings should be documented, communicated and incorporated into continuous improvement activities.
