Assessment Systems & Validation
Overview
Assessment is the area where compliance, quality, and student outcomes intersect most visibly — and where audits most often find systemic issues. This extended Inside VET session covers what robust assessment systems and validation practices look like under the Standards for RTOs 2025, including pre-use assessment validation, post-assessment review, and the documentation trail that demonstrates your assessment system is genuinely working.

- How assessment systems hold (or fail to hold) under audit scrutiny
- Validation cycles that genuinely improve assessment, not just tick boxes
- The link between assessment design, mapping and validation outcomes
- How to prioritise assessment improvements by risk
Who should attend
