5.1 Explain how to judge whether evidence is sufficient
Evidence is deemed as being
sufficient when they meet all the required criteria for the learner to complete
the course. When assessing evidence and matching them to criteria across all
units, if all the required criteria are met, you can say that the evidence is
sufficient. If even one criterion is not covered, the evidence is not
sufficient and more assessment needs to be carried out to gather more evidence
to cover the unmet criteria.
authentic
For authenticity, it is required that the learning appends his signature on all pieces of evidence and documents submitted.
For online assessment, the logs
should show that the submission was made by the learners showing his assigned
login details.For authenticity, it is required that the learning appends his signature on all pieces of evidence and documents submitted.
If a learner emails an evidence, printing a copy of that email, where the IV can clearly see that it is from the learner’s email address, can also authenticate the evidence.
current
It is current if it is within the
date and not out of date.
5.2 Explain how to ensure that assessment decisions are made against

criteria should be used at all times. Judgement or decision of whether an
evidence is sufficient and valid should never be based on the assessor's
opinion but the on the specified criteria
