Your Guide to Being a CACHE Centre Assessing portfolio of evidence Each unit is divided into learning outcomes. These are defined as: • Competence and skills based • Knowledge and understanding based. Competence/skills-based learning outcomes generally begin with ‘Be able to’ and the associated assessment criteria will predominantly reflect that the evidence must be observable. For most CACHE qualifications this is normally within the learner’s work role in a real work environment, but Centres should always check the specific unit guidance. Knowledge/understanding-based learning outcomes generally begin with ‘Know’, ‘Understand’ or ‘Know how to’. Centres should always check the specific unit guidance for the unit they are assessing. Combining both competence and knowledge by using oral questions and answers and or professional discussion maybe used alongside assessing competence in order to assess that the learner has the knowledge as well as the competence to perform the task.
