INSAFORP. Assessment based on labour competency technical standards. 1st edition. El Salvador: INSAFORP, 2005.

The purpose of this document is to explain the procedure to be followed in order to design, test and apply assessment instruments based on Labour Competency Technical Standards (LCTS), taking, in their design, the LCTS previously validated by the Standardisation Technical Committee (STC) of the corresponding sector as the starting point.

It is designed for it to be used as a self-teaching material, a learning aid in large or small groups and oriented to teachers, instructors, facilitators and consultants of educational institutions, enterprises engaged in vocational training and/or certification, consultant firms, entrepreneurs and workers who are part of STC teams or different technical teams.

Its elaboration considers the model of learning guide of the Systematic Instructional and Curricular Development Methodology (SICD), particularly during the stages of design and development. It includes the necessary theory, examples and practical exercises to master basic concepts. It also contains practical procedures to: interpret LCTS, use techniques and instruments, establish detectors, test instruments and assess candidates who are interested in certifying their competencies. It also takes into account assessment instruments for the cognitive, psychomotor and attitudinal domains in order to verify the acquired learning.
