CBA Notes 2
Evidence refers to proof that a learner has demonstrated a specific competency — meaning they
can perform a task or apply knowledge, skills, and attitudes to a required standard in a real or
simulated setting.
Evidence is the information or documentation that shows a learner has achieved a competency as
outlined in the occupational standards or curriculum.
Forms of evidence
Type of Evidence Description Examples
Direct Evidence First-hand evidence of a - Live demonstration
learner performing a task - Practical assessment
under observation. - Oral questioning
Indirect Evidence Tangible products or - Completed project
outcomes produced by the - Portfolio of work
learner. - Photographs/videos
Supplementary Evidence Third-party or documented - Supervisor/employer
evidence from external testimonials
sources supporting - Observation reports
competence. - Training certificates
The three types of evidence are complementary. Together they give a balanced picture of the
candidate's level of competency. To ensure that assessment can be kept manageable and cost-
effective, it is necessary to pursue an appropriate mix of the three types of evidence.
RULES OF EVIDENCE
Rule Description
Valid Relates to the unit or units of competency
appropriately; reflects all four dimensions
of competency; provides evidence of the
broad skills included in the Key
Competencies; appropriate to the KNQF
level being assessed.
Authentic Is the candidate’s own work (i.e.,
procedures have been developed to ensure
this).
Consistent Shows competency over a period of time
suggesting sustained performance (i.e.,
not just a ‘one-off’).
Sufficient Provides enough evidence to make a
judgement about the competency of the
individual in relation to all four
dimensions of competency. Covers the
full range of the performance criteria and
meets all the evidence requirements.
Current Recent enough to show that the skills and
knowledge are still in practice and able to
be applied to a current work situation.
RANGE
This section provides work environments and conditions to which the performance criteria apply.
It allows for different work environments and situations that will affect performance.
Variable Range
Required Skills
The individual needs to demonstrate the following skills:
Analytical

ASSESSMENT TOOLS
Assessment tool
Materials for collecting and analyzing evidence are often described as assessment tools or
instruments. In general, the term assessment tool is used to describe a document that contains
both:
• the instructions for gathering and interpreting evidence – ie the material that
helps set up an assessment event, including the instructions for the assessor
and
• the assessment instrument – ie the material that describes, measures and
records outcomes or evidence for each assessment event or activity.
Assessment tools also enable the assessor to justify that the assessment has been valid, reliable,
flexible and fair. The content of assessment tools includes the following:
• Specific instructions given to the candidate.
• Sets of verbal/written/ computer-based questions to be asked.
• Performance checklists.
• Log books (mentoring tool)
• Description of competent performance
A number of these tools may be used in combination in order to provide enough evidence to
make a judgement. Having instructions and instruments means that assessment tools can be
used by other assessors, saves time and helps eliminate personal biases.
The assessment tools include the following:
1. Candidates tool
a. Written paper
b. Practical paper
2. Assessors tools
a. Written guide (marking scheme)
b. Observation checklist
