It is an obvious way of checking that learning has taken place and is a good way of measuring the learner’s knowledge and practical skills and their understanding of the subject against the anticipated outcomes set by the criteria. It is important for the assessor to initially establish whether the learner has any specific learning needs so that they can prepare to support the learner in whichever way they feel necessary
