A candidate must answer mathematical computations, which have only one right answer, with 100 percent accuracy. Also, candidates can supply documentation or other proof of competencies in a variety of acceptable forms. Continuous Feedback to Candidates Assessors document progress through the assessment program at each step through written reports to the candidate. Tasks are not passed or failed. Competencies are simply demonstrated or not demonstrated and are so noted to the candidate in the performance report.
Mistakes are to be learned from and corrected until mastery is achieved.
Competencies Candidates may attempt, as often as they wish, to demonstrate competencies they were previously unable to demonstrate. Because clearly defined competencies are being assessed, a candidate does not need to repeat an entire Task when a particular competency has not been demonstrated. However, demonstration of all the competencies is required to successfully complete the program. At times, parameters are built in to encourage adults to seek instruction when they need assistance.
