Context of and specific resources for assessment 

Describe how assessments meet the context of and specific resources for assessment 

Assessment of essential underpinning knowledge will usually be conducted in an off-site context. 

Resource implications for assessment include: 

• relevant codes, standards and government regulations 

• computers with appropriate software to view 2-D CAD drawings, run costing programs and print copies 

• copies of appropriate awards and workplace agreements 

Reasonable adjustments for people with disabilities must be made to assessment processes where required. This could include access to modified equipment and other physical resources, and the provision of appropriate assessment support.
