Work Based Assessments (WBA)
Work Based Assessments (WBA) is one mechanism used by the Council to assess a practitioner’s
competence to practise as an Anaesthetic Technician.
Prior to undertaking a WBA, practitioners are required to work under the direct supervision of a
registered Anaesthetic Technician who holds a current practising certificate. The period of supervision is
determined on a case-by-case basis, at the end of which the practitioner undertakes a WBA.
The WBA covers an assessment of the practitioner’s clinical and technical skills and knowledge including
a machine check assessment. The Council then makes a final decision as to whether or not the
practitioner will be granted registration and/or issued with a practising certificate.
