Ammattilaisnäyttö

Ammattilaisnäyttö, often translated as professional demonstration or skills assessment, is a method used in Finnish vocational education and training to evaluate a student's practical skills and competencies acquired during their studies. It is a crucial part of the final assessment process for vocational qualifications.

The purpose of ammattilaisnäyttö is to ensure that students have mastered the necessary skills and knowledge to perform specific tasks and responsibilities within their chosen profession. It simulates real-world work scenarios, requiring students to apply their learning in a practical setting. This assessment is typically conducted by qualified professionals from the industry, ensuring its relevance and authenticity.

The process usually involves the student performing a set of predefined tasks or producing a piece of work that demonstrates their proficiency. This could range from practical tasks in a workshop or salon to presenting a project or handling customer interactions. Assessors observe the student's performance, evaluate their technique, decision-making, and ability to work independently and safely.

Ammattilaisnäyttö emphasizes competence-based assessment, meaning the focus is on what the student can do rather than just theoretical knowledge. It provides valuable feedback to students and helps them prepare for the demands of the labor market. Successful completion of ammattilaisnäyttö is a prerequisite for obtaining a vocational qualification.
