(1) be designed so that they collectively give the student the opportunity to demonstrate
competency in all LOs in 100 02 and 100 03 of Area 100 KSA; each individual summative
assessment may address some of the LOs in 100 02 and 100 03 of Area 100 KSA;
(2) be satisfactorily completed before the student is recommended by the ATO for their first attempt
to take the final theoretical knowledge examination paper, and the outcome of the assessments
should be included in the student’s training record;
(3) require that for a student to be considered that they have achieved a ‘Satisfactory’ standard,
they:
(i) meet at least 35 % (which defines the term ‘some’ used in the word pictures) of the
indicators relevant to the assessment exercise, in each competency;
(ii) have an overall positive effect on the outcome or completion of the exercise without
any external input from the instructor, or where the assessment requires the
instructor to facilitate the exercise, without the instructor providing any knowledge or
corrective input to assist in the completion of the exercise; and
(4) be conducted by an instructor that is trained to deliver the summative assessments.
(d) The training manual should include the following elements regarding the theoretical knowledge training
and assessment of the LOs in topics 100 02 and 100 03 of Area 100 KSA:
(1) the positions, or range of positions, of the formative assessment exercise(s) and summative
assessment exercises in the training programme;
(2) a description of the summative assessments, including a matrix that shows which
Area 100 KSA LOs are covered in each exercise;
(3) the grading system of the Area 100 KSA summative assessment and a description of the ATO’s
minimum required standard;
(4) the template for the information about Area 100 KSA to be included in the student’s training
record, which should include at least the dates and result (‘Pass’ or ‘Fail’) of the summative
assessments and the date and score of the mental maths test;
(5) the method of assessment debrief for each summative and formative assessment;
(6) for a student who performs below the satisfactory standard in a summative assessment(s), the
method to further develop the student’s competencies and how to conduct the reassessment.
(e) Access to the information on Area 100 KSA kept in the student’s training records should be restricted to
the student and authorised ATO personnel, and should not be disclosed outside the ATO.
The information on the record should first be de-identified before it is used to support course design
improvements.’

(c) The minimum score to pass the Area 100 KSA mental maths test(s) should be 75 % of the marks
allocated to a test. However, a higher pass mark may be defined by the ATO.
(d) The mental maths test(s) should be satisfactorily completed before the student is recommended by the
ATO for their first attempt to take their final theoretical knowledge examination paper.’

(f) An ATO should ensure that the detailed information obtained through its grading in Area 100 KSA is de-
identified before using it to support course improvement.
SECTION A — EXAMPLE 1
AREA 100 KSA WORD PICTURE GRADE LEVELS (USING INDICATORS)
(g) The example shown below in this Section contains the most commonly used word pictures, which are
formed of elements that contain the following:
(1) HOW MANY of the performance indicators in the table further below relevant to that summative
assessment were observed in that competency (as a percentage);
(2) HOW WELL the competency was demonstrated in the assessment; and
(3) the level of success in the OUTCOME of the summative assessment.
(h) In order to satisfactorily complete an Area KSA 100 summative assessment, the student should reach at
least the minimum satisfactory level in each competency covered by that assessment. In case the
student fails to reach the minimum satisfactory level in each competency, the student should repeat the
summative assessment or another summative assessment that covers the competency(ies) where
performance was previously assessed as unsatisfactory.

AREA 100 KSA WORD PICTURES (USING DESCRIPTIONS)
(j) An ATO may devise its own word pictures for each of the competencies, to be used alongside or combined with those given in EXAMPLE 1.
A descriptive word picture typically includes descriptive examples that the ATO’s instructors could readily identify and then equate to given
competency levels. Below are two examples (for ‘Communication’ and ‘Application of knowledge, UPRT and resilience’).
