The award of rankings such as "Limited", "Adequate", "Very Good", and "Excellent" should all be supported by evidence observed at the Training.


e.g. Explanations offered at the training showing understanding and ability to apply new concepts; ability to synthesise information from the diverse sources presented; ability to apply this synthesis of knowledge to their own situation; ability to critique material presented; willingness to participate actively in the training activities; quality of the poster presentation and individual presentations; feedback offered on behalf of groups and the quality of the paper the participant submits to NARBO.

"Limited" means the participant has not or only partially achieved an objective.

"Adequate" means the participant has sound understanding of the objective or, in the case of application objectives, is functional in application of the ideas presented.

"Very good" means that the participant has achieved the objective to a higher standard than that generally reached by others.

"Excellent" means that that the participant is operating at a level that exceeds most other participants.

A Certificate of Exemplary Completion should only be awarded to those participants who achieve rankings of "Very Good" to "Excellent" in 10 of the 13 objectives listed. An exemplary participant should not achieve below a ranking of "Very Good" in the areas Critical Evaluation and Application.
