Dear Learner
Please pay attention to the Specific Outcomes (SO), Assessment Criteria (AC) and types of

work and effort. It is very important that the Portfolio of Evidence is handed in for
assessment on the agreed date, time and venue.
Good Luck!

Assessor Declaration
What are the differences between theory, practice and workplace activities?
Theory refers to contemplation or speculation, as opposed to action. This draws on the information you have
obtained throughout your theoretical training. Knowledge questions may test your understanding or ask you to
explain aspects of the subject matter.
Practice refers to the act of rehearsing a behaviour, or engaging in an activity (i.e. action) for the purpose of
improving or mastering it. Practical tasks may ask you to perform, create or develop evidence.
Work Place refers to research conducted or action taken within the workplace. In other words, the workplace
question requires you to actually interact with your workplace or organisation in order to meet certain objectives.
Formative Assessments
Please include your workbook after this page. This workbook will contain the following:
The questions you were asked to complete during your class room training from your work book
a) Any group work activities that your group were required to complete during your class room training in your workbook
b) Any role playing activities that you would have been involved in during your class room training from your workbook
c) Any individual activities that you would have been asked to complete during your class room training from your workbook
Any self assessments that you would have been asked to complete during your class room training – add these to your
workbook.
This information will be your assignments you were required to complete when you were back in the workplace. Make sure
that you have received signatures from your Coach/Manager/Mentor for any work that you have handed in. Without these
signatures your Summative Assessment will not be marked by the Assessor or Moderator.

Please note that although this material has been aligned to the Unit Standard: Describe the relationship
of junior management to other roles – NQF Level 4 – 5 credits, the following must still apply:
In order for a Learner (that is you!) to achieve this unit of learning and be recognized nationally and
receive a certificate from the Services SETA, you would need to provide a portfolio of evidence to show
your competence in these skills.
This means that you must complete all knowledge questions and practical tasks and activities correctly
in your Learner Workbook, sign all relevant pages where it asks for the Learner’s signature and date,
and hand it into your Facilitator at the time agreed upon.
Failure to do this will result in only a Certificate of Attendance being issued and not a Certificate of
Competence.
NOTES:
Remember it is the Learners choice whether he wants the Assessor to write for him or not.
If the Learner requests that the Assessor writes for him because of a language barrier, etc., the Assessor must
make a note in the front of the knowledge assessment section that the Assessor has been requested to write
for the Learner and both Learner and Assessor to sign and date it.
Only write down what the Learner tells you, do not make assumptions on the Learners behalf, rather ask
another question to clarify meaning.
Reassessment:
If any criterion has to be reassessed, clearly indicate that it is a reassessment and insert the date of
reassessment.
If Learners need to be re-assessed, do not remove the first assessment from his portfolio of evidence. This
must be kept in the PoE so that the Moderator can see that the Learner was given the opportunity for re-
assessments.
