Figure 6. NZQF Levels (Source: NZQA, Competenz, 2010) As mentioned, NZQF levels give an indication of the complexity of learning and the amount of effort required by the candidate. The following figure compares the amount of Technical Skill and Knowledge applied by the candidate on the vertical axis, with the Candidate‟s Responsibility on the horizontal axis. Figure 7. NZQF Levels Explained (Source: Competenz, 2010) Page 14 Assessor Guide, Ed. 2
As the NZQF level increases, so too do the requirements around a candidate‟s performance. Their technical skills and knowledge, as well as their responsibility for personal and/or group outcomes, grow and are challenged. Understanding the NZQF Levels and their „boundaries‟ is important, especially when it comes to the concept of RELEVANCE. Making sure, as assessors, that you are measuring only to the standards – nothing more (over assessing) and nothing less (under assessing). Handy Hints Full descriptions of all ten NZQF Levels can be found on the NZQA website – http://www.nzqa.govt.nz/studying-in-new-zealand/nzqf/nzqf-levels It is recommended that you become familiar with the „demands‟ on the candidate for each of the levels you will predominately assess against in your workplace. Qualifications Standard Setting Bodies (SSB) develop unit standards and qualifications for specific industries and professions that are based on the needs of trainees and are supported by industry. Qualifications are registered on the NZQF and details of each can be found on the NZQA website. Competenz is an Industry Training Organisation (ITO), which also means they are also a SSB. Competenz‟s qualifications are written with industry input and advice. Each qualification: Sits at a specified level of the NZQF and is made up of a certain number of credits. Contains „core‟ unit standards that are compulsory, and „elective‟ unit standards which are workplace-specific. Includes any pre-requisites, and transition arrangements from prior versions. Core Unit Standards These units form the base of the qualification and are compulsory. The candidate must be assessed as competent in these standards in order to fulfil the requirements of the qualification. Elective Unit Standards Some qualifications will have unit standards – and/or strands - that a candidate can choose from as part of fulfilling the requirements of the qualification. This gives flexibility to work towards units that relate to their current job. Assessor Guide, Ed. 2 Page 15
