* Tasks Requiring Observation by a HBA Assessor

There are two (2) options for all tasks requiring observation by an assessor:

Remote Observation - Record video and audio of your facilitation and send us a link to the recording. HBA recommends using a cloud service such as Dropbox, Google Drive (or similar) to share large video files. One of our TAE40122 assessors will view and assess the recording and send an outcome of either ‘Satisfactory’ or ‘Not Satisfactory’ for the practical task. You will also be provided with written feedback and a completed observation checklist. Candidates achieving a ‘Satisfactory’ outcome must retain the observation checklist and submit the checklist with all other ASSESSMENT cluster tasks. Video must show interaction between the facilitator and all of the learners and must cover all parts of both sessions. Video may be submitted separately for assessment.

Direct Observation - If your facilitation is directly observed by a HBA Learning Centres assessor you will be provided with an outcome of either ‘Satisfactory’ or ‘Not Satisfactory’ for each practical task. You will also be provided with written feedback and a completed observation checklist. Candidates achieving a ‘Satisfactory’ outcome must retain the observation checklist and submit the checklist with all other tasks. It is your responsibility to retain and submit copies of all relevant documents.
