![Page 11: Networking Event – Skills for Work Retailing – March 2013](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062315/56815874550346895dc5d2ec/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Skills for Work Retailing
• Skills for Work qualifications are entirely internally assessed (no external assessment component)
• Product related evidence may be limited – the majority of evidence is likely to be process related
![Page 12: Networking Event – Skills for Work Retailing – March 2013](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062315/56815874550346895dc5d2ec/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Principles of AssessmentVARCS
Assessment practice must meet VARCS requirements;
Valid – assessment method must be appropriate to what is being assessed
Authentic – evidence must be the candidate’s own workReliable – assessment method must be able to produce the
same result when used by different assessorsCurrent – evidence must be up to date and reflect current
practiceSufficient – assessment methods must produce evidnece
which is sufficient to cover unit/qualification requirements
![Page 13: Networking Event – Skills for Work Retailing – March 2013](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062315/56815874550346895dc5d2ec/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
