Take a detailed look at the process of validating assessment tools.

We dive deep into assessment tool validation requirements including assessment mapping, context & conditions of assessment and applying the Principles of Assessment & Rules of Evidence.

Using a real assessment tool example, we engage in the validation of assessment tools beyond the mere 'tick, it's compliant,' delving into what makes assessment tools fit-for-purpose, usable & efficient! And along the way address the various flaws, pitfalls, tips & tricks to ensure that you have strategies to address the tool validation needs of your organisation.
