Skill checks should:

• be related directly to performance objectives
• provide success criteria
• explain how assessment of the performance should be carried out, by the learner themselves, the supervisor, etc.

Note that skill checks can be used with other forms of questioning. Typically they are used at the end of a section, and ask the learner to check that they can carry out what has been described in that particular part section.
