August Meeting

The meeting opened with introductions and discussion of assessment validation progress in sections. At this meeting the group had reviewed the ANTA Toolbox Certificate IV Training and Assessment. This provided discussion on what we include in our resources for the BIG DAY OUT! As we were located in the computer training room we reviewed a CD of materials. This included:
* marketing tool for NAVAL advertising what the group is trying to achieve.
* assessment tools
* assessment validation information
* power point presentation
All in all a big computer day!
The next discussion centered on the assessment process and agreement was reached but further discussion is needed. Next meeting we hope to finalise this!

NAVAL will showcase their ideas and challenges at the next Quality Award ceremony. Next year 2006 the group hopes apply for a Quality award as by that time we would have evaluated and then made the necessary changes. This will be an ongoing discussion to work on the presentation and display for the Quality Awards ceremony 2005.

Training commenced today with watching the video " The Assessor" The first two sections of the video looked at the situation: that is unpacking training packages and then ways to gather evidence to demonstrate competency. Everybody reported the training interesting and looked forward to the next session.
