Catapult V6: inclusions, delivery and assessment

A Catapult V6 resource is a Catapult-authored learning and assessment package for one unit of competency. It combines online content and assessment in Catapult LMS with downloadable evidence tools.

V6 units share a broad product model, but the way assessment sections and mapping appear can differ. Inspect the unit you intend to use.

V6 learning content

Learners work through structured topics, explanatory content, images and checks for understanding. These activities prepare learners for the formal assessment supplied with the unit.

The number of topics and the balance between online work and downloaded documents vary with the unit requirements.

V6 assessment

V6 resources typically include knowledge assessment and a project activity. Trainers and assessors use the instructions, benchmarks, checklists and evidence documents supplied with the selected unit.

A project checklist is a common V6 inclusion. Practical assessment documents might also be supplied. Logbooks, reflection diaries and simulations appear where the unit design calls for them.

Mapping and benchmarks

Mapping data is held within the V6 resource. Its presentation can differ between units. Assessor benchmarks might appear in the online resource or within a downloaded evidence document.

Review the complete assessment and mapping presentation before delivery. A familiar V6 unit should not be used as a substitute for checking the new one.
