located at the back of our assessment center. I will give you 10 minutes to release all your
anxieties. Remember that you are not allowed to go out for the entire duration of the
assessment. Anyone want to go out? None? Okay. If you are not comfortable with the use
of English language as our medium of instruction, I am very much willing to translate it to
your own dialect for easy understanding.
This time, I will now discuss the Do’s and Don’ts during the conduct of our assessment.

Mr. Alom, how did you find the assessment? <The candidate/assesse will answer>
Based on the assessment criteria enumerated in this rating sheet, for your actual
demonstration, you were able to perform all the tasks within the standards prescribed in
this qualification. In the oral questioning, you did it very well. Based on the 2 methods
used in this assessment, you pass it all. In this manner, I pronounce you as
COMPETENT. At this time, I will require you to affix your signature in this rating sheet as
well as the CARS in the candidate’s signature portion. This is an indication that you accept
my assessment decision.
(Present the rating sheet and CARS to the candidate for him to affix his/her signature. Then,
cut the CARS, then give the Competency Assessment Results Summary CARS to the

SAMPLE ONLY:
(If candidate failed the assessment)
Mr. Bautista, how did you find the assessment? <The candidate/assesse will answer>
Mr. Bautista, in the written test you did it well and also in the oral questioning you did it
very well, you were able to answer all my questions correctly. However, in your practical
demonstration, you were able to perform the first 2 tasks within the standards prescribed
in this qualification. Unfortunately, on the last project/task which is to perform final
capping, you were not able to make it within the standard requirements of the
qualification. There something wrong with it comes to your finish product. You have to
review/
practice the activities related to the competency requirements of this qualification.
Therefore, I rated you as NOT YET COMPETENT.
I will require you to affix your signature in this rating sheet as well as the CARS in the
candidate’s signature portion. This is an indication that you accept my assessment
decision.
You may come back after a month for reassessment or when you feel confident enough
that you have acquired the competence. Don’t worry, you will only be reassessed on the
parts of the activity that were found to be not yet competent.
Candidates our assessment has officially ended. Before we will leave the assessment
premises, I would like everyone to perform 5’S. Thank you candidates for participating this
assessment and have a safe journey back home.
