About the workshop
Most assessment barriers are built in by accident: dense instructions, extra writing, tasks which test reading instead of the skill.
This hands-on day shows you how to find them, use AI to fix them safely, and keep every piece of competency evidence intact.
Bring an assessment. Leave with a better one.
Why now
Learners who think and learn differently are part of every cohort, and AI is changing how assessments get written.
Both of these expect fair, flexible assessment, with qualified staff checking every AI output:
2025 Standards for RTOsASQA guidance on AI in VET
This workshop puts both into everyday practice.
Choice first. Labels optional. Competency always.

- Different learners, different approachesOffer choices without relying on labels.
- Catch the AI mistakesSpot made-up requirements, missing conditions and false mapping.
- Finalise your improvementA draft pack ready for your RTO's review.
