Option 1: Assessor as observer

The assessor can ‘observe' the learner conducting the presentation via a video conferencing tool.

Procedure:

• Meet with the assessor on Skype at the scheduled time and conduct the presentation.
• The learner is to present their advertising pitch with the assessor observing.
• Supplementary information or a follow up interview may be required (at the discretion of the assessor).

Option 2: Video the presentation

The presentation may involve skills that are too active or complex for video conferencing. This might involve skills or demonstrations of complex tasks.

In these cases, the learner may be able to video the presentation and send it to the assessor.
