Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Why does a Workplace Assessment Task (WAT) replace an Evidence Guide (EG)?
A. In a workplace setting, the responsibility of producing and collecting acceptable evidence of skills and knowledge lies with the trainee, not the assessor or the employee.
It is essential that the trainee clearly understands what is acceptable as evidence - often it needs to be quite specific and reasonably in depth to be accepted by an assessor as reasonable evidence.
To help trainees produce acceptable evidence, Workplace Assessment Tasks have been developed for some Unit Standards. WATs provide trainees with a more detailed guide to what they should be collecting, by working through particular tasks that can then be used as acceptable evidence later on.
Where can I find CAT cover pages?
A. Aviation, Tourism and Travel CAT cover pages are located in the Resource Centre (click here). You can click on the relevant industry cover, type in your specific details, print, and then add it to your printed CAT.
