After assessment

AI-Assisted Post-Validation.

After student assessments are finalised, review manually selected eligible assessments and document your team's conclusions to support RTO-led validation and improvement.

A clearer record of assessment decisions

Post-validation compares each selected attempt's recorded AI assessment with its own finalised report. Your team can review the findings alongside the source records, record conclusions and retain a signed moderation record.

See how post-validation supports Standard 1.5.

  • Review matching, different or inconclusive recorded decisions and their supporting references.
  • Document sample reviews, limitations and recommendations for follow-up.
  • Download a Word report and sign off your team's saved conclusions.
  • Support evidence-based improvement and your RTO's validation activities.

How it works

  1. Select assessments — Choose eligible finalised assessments manually, with optional filters for changed overall outcomes or resubmissions.
  2. Review comparisons — Compare the recorded decisions and review the findings, source records and any limitations.
  3. Moderate and sign off — Record the team's conclusions and recommendations, review the Word report and sign the saved record.

After the comparison

Review and follow up on proposed actions

When relevant follow-up is proposed, the Word report includes a Rectification and review action register to help your team investigate findings against the evidence and moderator's decisions.

  • Review proposed corrections for source-supported Major or Critical issues and check the linked sample findings.
  • Investigate items requiring assessor review; a question needing clarification is not necessarily a confirmed defect.
  • Record and follow up agreed actions in your RTO's own records, including responsibility, progress and evidence of completion.

Minor findings remain in the sample findings. The Word register does not update application tracking or change final assessment decisions; your RTO remains responsible for review, validation and follow-up.

Post-validation walkthrough

Keep your team in control

Post-validation compares recorded decisions; it does not re-mark student work, determine which judgement was correct or change the final assessment decision. Manually selected samples are not necessarily representative. Your RTO remains responsible for sampling, reviewing the underlying evidence, validation, sign-off and deciding what action to take.
