Performance Assessment

This section is only applicable for certifications that include a Performance Assessment or a Performance Assessment Checklist component; such as the Canadian Certified Industrial Meat Cutter (CCIMC) – Level 1 certification.

Depending on the evaluation method defined by the certification, the Performance Assessment can be conducted in two ways:

1. Performance Checklist Assessment:
   
   • Conducted by an assigned owner/manager/ supervisor within the certifications defined time window (years/month) from the certifications application date to record candidate records against a checklist for observations and comments made against the online checklists’ defined criteria. 
   • Candidates assign an applicable  representative’s e-mail at the time of applying for them to be notified and receive access credentials into the platform to conduct the online Performance Assessment Checklist.
       
2. Recorded Performance Evaluation Assessment:

• • Conducted by trained in-house evaluators using smartphone, tablet or digital camera, (e.g. Go Pro) technology to record candidates carrying out the tasks in a live-environment.
  • Applicants successful in the Knowledge Exam will receive instructions from their assigned In-House Evaluator and FPSC regarding the next steps for the Performance Evaluation and it’s steps.
  • Once the evaluation is completed, assigned evaluators will then interact with the FoodCert online platform to upload the videos, and complete any assigned checklists, enter observations, and fill out the performance summary score sheets for any assigned candidates.

Candidates must achieve a minimum passing score for each section outlined by the performance evaluation criteria/ performance checklist for the defined applicable certification.
