Assessments
The new Basic and Advanced Training programs have a suite of new work-based learning and assessment tools, supported by the Training Management Platform (TMP).
See the relevant Basic or Advanced Training curricula to find more on your respective program requirements.
Learning captures
A learning capture is a work-based assessment that involves a trainee capturing and reflecting on professional development activities. This includes evidence of work-based learning linked to specified learning goals.
Why it's used:
- help trainees reflect on experiences
- promote critical thinking
- link experiences to their learning goals and professional development
See the relevant Basic or Advanced Training curricula to find more information, including frequency and submission deadlines. A learning capture information pack is also available.
Observation captures
An observation capture is a work-based assessment that involves a structured process where trainees demonstrate their knowledge and skills in real-time workplace situations, while assessors observe and evaluate performance.
Why it's used:
- assess skill development
- monitor progress against training phase goals
- provide feedback for improvement
See the relevant Basic or Advanced Training curricula to find more information, including frequency and submission deadlines. An observation capture information pack is also available.
Progress reports
Progress reports track how trainees are progressing towards their learning goals over time. Both trainees and supervisors contribute to these reports.
Why it's used:
- assess knowledge and skills
- monitor progress against training phase goals
- give feedback for improvement
Submissions process
First half of 2025 - interim manual process
Basic Trainees
- Submit the completed report to your DPE and bring it to your meeting with your Education Supervisor.
- For the first half of 2025, you're not required to send copies of the progress report to the College or upload it to TMP.
- Your TMP 'Assessment requirements' tab will be updated with the number of reports required for your current phase, excluding any manual reports.
Advanced Trainees
Email completed reports to your specialty inbox. You're not required to upload manual copies of your rotation progress into TMP. Once you have emailed your manual progress report to the College, it'll be made available to view in TMP.
Specialty templates:
Mid-2025 onwards – available in TMP
From September 2025, trainees and supervisors can complete and submit progress reports directly in TMP under the 'Assessment requirements' tab.
Trainees will:
- create and submit a rotation plan
- self-assess against learning goals
- record any leave taken
- provide summary comments
Once submitted, the Rotation Supervisor will be notified to complete their part.
See the relevant Basic or Advanced Training curricula to find more information, including frequency and submission deadlines. A progress report information pack is also available.
Phase Progress Reports - Basic Training only
These are completed by the Education Supervisor and the trainee at the middle and end of each phase.
