What Makes for Good Assessment Delivery? There are key principles that assessors need to adhere to when conducting an assessment. Sufficiency There is enough evidence to make a judgement on whether the candidate is competent. Repeatable Performance All evidence proves that a candidate can carry out a task repeatedly and consistently. Relevance All the evidence relates back to what the unit standard is asking for. Currency All evidence and assessment materials are current and up-todate. Assessor Qualities The assessor is technically experienced and has skills in planning, organisation and communication. What makes a good assessment? Authenticity All of the evidence is the candidate‟s own work. Resource Tools Quality, pre-moderated and approved resource tools are used. Fairness Assessment methods will not disadvantage individuals or groups by hindering or limiting them in ways unrelated to the evidence sought. Candidate‟s Responsibility The candidate takes responsibility for completing and collecting their evidence. They know who to turn to if they need help during their assessment. Openness Candidates understand the assessment process and the standard(s) they are being assessed against. They can contribute to the planning and collection of evidence. Figure 5.

Qualifications and Unit Standards In this section we will cover: The New Zealand Qualifications Framework (NZQF) and Directory of Assessment Standards (DAS). NZQF Levels in relation to what is expected of the candidate at set levels. A breakdown of a unit standard, explaining some of its key parts. New Zealand Qualifications Framework (NZQF) and the Directory of Assessment Standards (DAS) The process of workplace assessment provides a hands-on approach to competency-based assessment. A competency based framework was originally introduced by the New Zealand Qualifications Authority (NZQA) in 1990, to capture and recognise knowledge, skills and experience in NZ industries. Industry qualifications and standards were listed on the National Qualification Framework (NQF). As of the 1 July 2010, a single unified framework was established to optimise the recognition of education achievement and its contribution to New Zealand‟s economic, social and cultural success. All qualifications (except those delivered by Universities) are now listed on the New Zealand Qualification framework (NZQF) and unit standards on the Directory of Assessment Standards (DAS). NZQF Levels As an assessor, it is important to have a clear understanding of the NZQF Levels, and what each of them represents. There are ten levels on the NZQF: 1 is the least complex and 10 the most complex. Qualifications and unit standards each have an assigned NZQF level. The levels start to paint a picture around the complexity of learning. They do not equate to 'years spent learning‟, but reflect the content of the qualification and/or unit standard. As a guide, the following figure maps out formal learning (e.g. certificates, diplomas, etc) against each of the NZQF levels. We have also put in some of the older qualifications and the school equivalent (NCEA) against the levels they typically link to. Assessor Guide, Ed. 2 Page 13
