PRACtICAL ASSESSMENTS

All training providers must physically see their students perform the tasks as required by the qualification training package. Here at ACVN, we offer several ways to do this.

LIVE ZOOM ASSESSMENT

Students can book time with an Educator to do one or several practical assessments via zoom. This is our preferred method as the educator can provide immediate feedback or ask for the additional detail required to demonstrate competency (the second attempt).

VIDEO ASSESSMENT

Alternatively, you can record yourself performing the task and upload the video for an Educator to watch. This is helpful for those students who cannot be available when Educators are to do a Zoom Assessment.

An Educator will assess your video and provided feedback. This feedback will help you learn further as well as let you know how you did. If we do need more detail, you will just have to record what is missing (not the entire video again). Sometimes, instead of resubmitting a video, we may also give you a phone call to bridge the gaps in your video.

There are specific requirements for video assessments, which you can find in the Video Assessment Guide.

IN PERSON ASSESSMENT

Finally, if you prefer assessment to occur in person, this is possible. For in person assessments, we recommend blocking a bunch of assessments together on the same visit. It does however attract additional fees to cover Educator travel. If you wish to explore this option, please contact Student Assist

ASSESSMENT INSTRUCTIONS

Every practical assessment has full instructions on what needs to be included. We do not require anything fancy if you choose to record a video, just using a smartphone is fine. Most computers come with basic video editing software if you need it.

Zoom is available for most devices, so “calling” us for your practical assessment from your phone is easy peasy.
