The outputs and outcomes of this project were intended to inform the practical considerations required to train and credential an external assessor workforce nationwide. La Trobe University was contracted to:
1. Conduct a training needs analysis.
2. Develop a strategy for curriculum design and delivery options.
3. Evaluate the training provided in the AN-ACC trial.
4. Develop a credentialing/competency framework for assessors.
5. Develop a clinical governance training framework for assessors and the assessment management organisations in which they work.
These five main requirements formed the basis of our project plan and work schedule.
