    Abstract
    Vocational Education curriculum is constantly in a state of flux due to the ever changing technological workplace. Traditional assessment methods are challenged to accurately assess the adult learners returning to post-secondary education. Industry demands high expectations with regards to occupational skills from these adult learners. The educational experience can be enhanced by using assessment methods as techniques for evaluation and as guides for instructors and administrators in curriculum design and technique methods (Paul, Lewis & Simpson 1994). Current traditional assessment methods may be inadequate for evaluating critical thinking skills. This study outlined and described some of the alternative assessment methods that are being used in post-secondary vocational education at the time of this study. Additionally, a list of recommendations for selecting and applying alternative assessment methods for CNC machine tool students was developed. These recommendations were derived from what the research and survey indicated to be appropriate for CNC machine tool students at MATC and other similar institutions.
