Learner Assessment Guides

FRSITO has developed a Learner Assessment Guide (LAG) designed to clarify the Assessment requirements for each Unit Standard.

These are specifically developed for the learner. A separate Assessors Assessment Guide (AAG) has also been developed and is made available to assist assessors. The LAG is a companion to not a replacement for the Unit Standard document and should always be read in conjunction with the unit standard. The LAG simplifies and clarifies the requirements of a unit standard so that learners can complete the assessment process with confidence and full understanding.

Learner Assessment Guides can be downloaded from the LAG column in the table below.
