Assessment Validation Deep Dive & Pre-Use Testing
Overview
Pre-use validation of assessment tools is now an explicit Standards 2025 requirement — and it's the area where most RTOs have the weakest evidence trail. This 4-hour workshop takes you through the complete validation lifecycle: pre-use validation, scheduled validation, post-assessment validation, and the registers and reports that prove it's all happening. Bring an assessment tool you want to validate — we'll work through it live and you'll leave with a validated tool plus the templates to validate the rest of your suite.
What you will learn
- How to run pre-use validation that genuinely tests an assessment tool
- The minimum evidence trail validation panels need to keep
- How to document validation outcomes in a way auditors can follow
- A validated assessment tool ready to use, by the end of the session
Who should attend
- Compliance Managers and Quality Coordinators
- Lead Trainers running validation panels
- Trainers and Assessors contributing to validation
- Consultants supporting validation cycles
