Take a detailed look at the Principle of Reliability!

Understand the terms according to SRTO2025 & how to implement effectively. 

This course provides a full-circle view - from historical context to current-day implementation - equipping assessors with practical tools to ensure their assessment decisions are not only consistent, but also compliant and defensible.

Examine how both competency and assessment have evolved in the VET system. 

Terminology is explored in depth, including the definitions of inter-rater reliability and intra-rater reliability, and what these look like in the day-to-day practice of an RTO assessor. Identify weak points in tools, systems or practices that could lead to inconsistent assessment outcomes - and consider solutions to strengthen reliability.

Design and use:

• Evaluative criteria for objective decision-making.
• Recording tools that structure assessor judgement.
• Model responses and benchmark guidance to support consistent interpretation.

Practical, experience-based strategies to immediately enhance reliability, ranging from how to format your tools, to how to document decisions, and to how to moderate with colleagues.
