Assessments are made on a C-to-A scale where the letters broadly indicate;
C: Needs development
B: Shows progress
A: Mastery
Self-assessment
Specifically, for self-assessments, the C-B-A scale is;
C: This is not a skill I am proficient in yet; I am not comfortable or confident; I do not meet this requirement yet.
B: I have some experience / understanding in this area, but there’s more I need to learn; I am making progress on this requirement.
A: I can do this skill reliably and safely to the expected standard; I can demonstrate this knowledge and apply it appropriately; I meet this requirement.
Assessor-assessment
When Assessors are making assessments, a slightly revised C-B-A scale is used;
C: The Lighting Technician needs more development in this area; they do not meet the requirement yet.
B: The Lighting Technician can do this task under supervision, but not completely independently yet; they are making progress toward this requirement.
A: The Lighting Technician has mastered this skill. I am comfortable leaving the Lighting Technician to be wholly responsible for this task on their own (after they are provided parameters); they meet this requirement.
