Info

All documentation around assessments builds up a story and a trail of evidence. As assessors, your evidence is your paper trail. It is important that your documents are up-todate and clear. When it comes to recording assessment results: 1. Make sure you have stamped (with your issued assessor stamp) all relevant assessment guide(s) and supporting evidence pages. Ensure the personal information and signatures are complete on the assessment guide. Stamp Assessment guides and all relevant supporting evidence. 2. Complete the Competenz Workplace Assessment Record Form. Remember to sign it. Send the top copy to Competenz, file the assessor copy, and give the candidate a copy for their records. Complete and sign the Competenz Workplace Assessment Record forms. 3. Store sets of assessment documents as evidence for moderation purposes. These must be held for at least 12 months. Store sets of Assessment documents. 4. Store results. Check with your training manager or manager how the assessment documentation must be kept as per your organisational requirements. For example, will the assessment results be stored electronically, and/or in a central filing system? Will copies of results be given to the candidate? Do you need to update the HR system with results? Store Assessment results. Page 56 Assessor Guide, Ed. 2
Quality Assurance (Moderation) In this section we will cover: Moderation of assessment tools. Moderation of assessment conducted by assessors. What is Moderation? Moderation is a quality control process that is used by Competenz to ensure consistent assessments are being achieved. Moderation helps to maintain consistent standards of assessment and improve assessment practices. Moderation is also a supportive mechanism for workplace assessors to get constructive and positive feedback on how they are doing. There are two types of moderation: Moderation of assessment tools. Moderation of assessments conducted by assessors. Moderation of Assessment Tools Moderation of an assessment tool ensures that it: Covers all the requirements of the latest version of unit standard(s). Is at the right level. Includes content that is accurate, current and relevant for the intended industry. Other Competenz processes also check and ensure the quality of the assessment design. This means that the assessor can be assured that using the tool will allow the collection of sufficient evidence. It is completed before the assessment tools are made available by Competenz. If a company, individual, or assessor wishes to use a tool that they have designed, it must also be pre-moderated by the appropriate SSB of the unit standard(s) before use. Assessors must ensure that the assessment guides they use have been moderated. Moderation of Assessments Conducted by Assessors The moderation of assessments involves checking the judgement of the assessor to make sure it is valid, consistent, fair, constructive and based on the evidence provided by the candidate. This may happen in person, with a moderator observing while an assessor assesses a candidate (known as “observed moderation”). The other main method used is assessors to send the documentation collected during an assessment to Competenz, who then pass it to a moderator for review. This is known as “postal moderation”. Competenz Quality Assurance will contact you to inform you of what you need to submit and when. Assessor Guide, Ed. 2 Page 57
