Recommendations
In the case of assessment validity, I would recommend that two staff be made available to 'team teach' during assessment events in order to view all facets of each task.
In the case of reliability where the same subject is taught across different trade sections, there should be policy in place for the exact same test paper to be used by all as an example as mechanics aren't given a less challenging electric theory test than an auto electrician as is currently taking place in the autonomous climate.
I recommend that there should be a change in local policy that students should have a negotiated assessment time and place within reason, once again, with a second staff member being available to supervise.
Fairness could be further enhanced for the students who have to travel, but this issue can be appeased if coupled with the flexibility recommendation.
