KeyNet: Assessment Guide: Annexe 6: Practical, contextualised tests

BACKGROUND

Most of the assessment techniques considered so far, are largely derived from formal, college or training provider contexts. This is an example of how key skills may be assessed within a practical, job context. Opportunities had been provided to acquire the key skills during training - now there are similar opportunities to reveal these skills.
