Workplace Assessment forms can be completed by the applicant's line manager / supervisor. One form is required to be completed for each unit that the applicant is required to take. The line manager/ supervisor is asked to assess your competence, to confirm that you are competent, and to outline the type of evidence on which their assessment is based (such as direct observation of your practice, supervision sessions, or information from appropriate third parties). We do not need supervisors/ managers to provide us with the actual evidence on which they have based their appraisal (for example a portfolio). However, they must be familiar with the applicant's work and be in a position to make an objective judgement about their competence in relation to the unit/s concerned. 

Each Workplace Assessment Report must have been completed within the last 12 months prior to the application - though managers/ supervisors may take into account evidence collected before that time. 

Because the requirements for different jobs vary, some people may not have the chance to demonstrate their competence in a given unit within their current position. However, your line manager / supervisor may base their assessment of your competence in a particular unit on information from another position - such as a previous job or a temporary placement in another role.

Workplace Assessments must be accompanied by a Senior Manager Approval form.
