Webinar Recording: NVPDW: Validation - The findings

Topic Overview:

Didn't have time to read research reports?

In July 2021, NCVER published a research report: Begin with the end: RTO practices and views on independent validation of assessment, which sought to “deepen understanding of the persistent issues registered training organisations (RTOs) encounter when conducting independent moderation and validation of assessments, and of the nature of industry involvement in these processes”.

Listen to the author of the paper on independent validation of assessment, Francesca Beddie, as she unpacks the findings. She gave a quick run-down of the research that resulted, what previous pilots found was effective, and distill the points made by the many RTO practitioners she interviewed.

• The research: Independent Validation of Assessment
• What RTO practitioners had to say

• Trainers and Assessors
• RTO Managers
