Any application for an adjustment to assessment must be supported by evidence that is valid, sufficient, and reliable. In order to ensure that any adjustment to assessment will only provide the candidate with the necessary assistance without giving him/her an unfair advantage over others, PASS EPA must be clear about the extent to which the candidate is affected by the disability or difficulty.
Where the implications of difficulty are not obvious, such as for learning difficulties, any of the following types of evidence would be acceptable:
- Evidence of assessment of the candidate needs made within the Training Provider by a relevant staff member
- History of the candidate’s provision within the Training Provider
- Psychological, medical or other professional assessment report
Or
- Evidence from a completed achievement test (such as WRAT) that measures reading recognition, spelling and arithmetic ability.
