Validation is a process for ensuring that the way a unit or group of units is assessed, and evidence collected, is consistent with requirements.
Moderation and validation are both concerned with consistency, assessment, industry requirements and unit of competency requirements.
Questions about the validation that may help include:
• Am I collecting evidence that is consistent with the requirements of the unit of competency?
• Am I collecting evidence that is appropriate to the industry?
• Do I gather sufficient evidence using appropriate methods and tools?
• Have I interpreted the evidence requirements appropriately?

1. Describe what you did to prepare for the validation sessions that you participated in.
e.g. Read documentation (please provide list of any documents you read); reviewed assessment tools (outline the tools you reviewed etc).
2. Submit evidence of your attendance at the validation session
e.g. Agenda; Meeting invitation; Calendar appointment; Memo etc.
3. Provide evidence of your active participation in the session.
e.g. How did you contribute to the discussion? What questions did you ask? Summary of your involvement etc.
4. Provide a copy of the assessment validation record and the standards you assessed the tool(s) /processes against.
5. Ensure minutes of meeting and summary of findings are hand signed and dated. Unsigned validations will not be assessed.
