Competenz Workplace Assessors The Competenz assessor is a key person in the assessment process. Some of the key responsibilities of an assessor include: Verifiers Being registered with Competenz as an assessor. Being familiar with, and working only within, their allocated assessor scope. Arranging „verifiers‟, if needed, to extend the assessor‟s scope. Planning the assessment process with the candidate. This includes providing guidance to candidates around collecting evidence to satisfy the assessment requirements and ensuring assessment resource tools are current, appropriate and pre-moderated. Assessing the candidate‟s performance against the unit standard criteria given in the Competenz pre-moderated assessment tools. Making a judgement – the candidate‟s evidence either supports that they are „competent‟ (met the standards) or „not yet competent‟. Provide clear and timely feedback to the candidate. Arrange for re-assessment if they are „not yet competent‟. Reporting assessment results to Competenz. Participating in Competenz quality assurance processes, such as moderation and assessor workshops. There will be times when an assessor cannot directly observe the candidate performing a task, or does not have the technical knowledge/experience themselves, to be able to make a valid judgement on a candidate‟s performance. In these cases a verifier may be used to provide assessment services for a wider range of unit standards and help the assessor complete the assessment. A verifier is a person selected by the assessor who is there to identify and authenticate evidence which proves a candidate‟s performance and ensure they meet the industry, and company, standard. The verifier must be known and trusted by the workplace assessor. They will be experts in their field(s) and have proven technical skills and knowledge in the area they are verifying. It is important that verifiers understand the principles behind assessment, and the need for them to complete all assessment materials clearly and specifically in accordance with Competenz quality systems and assessment practices. Training Providers Training providers are educational providers who have been accredited by NZQA to train and assess against particular fields, subfields, domains and unit standards on the NZQF. Some of their key responsibilities in supporting the assessment process include: Delivering training and assessment to the apprentice/trainee which is aligned to the applicable unit standards and national qualification requirements. Registering any „competent‟ unit standards completed by the candidate with NZQA. Page 22 Assessor Guide, Ed. 2
