Training Provider for Workplace Assessment (4098)
Before you can be a registered assessor, you yourself need to be assessed against unit
standard 4098. Once you have been judged „competent‟ in your assessment, you can be
registered as a workplace assessor.
One of the training providers Competenz works with is Framework Solutions Ltd. If a new
workplace assessor-to-be is yet to attain their unit standard 4098, Competenz recommends
Framework Solutions Ltd as their provider. Contact Competenz for more information.
The coaching of a new Competenz workplace assessor is done in conjunction with
Framework Solutions Ltd. Your 4098 portfolio of evidence will be assessed and the result
registered on the NZQF by this private training establishment.
There are many other training providers who also deliver short courses in workplace
assessor training around the country. Individuals may enrol for unit 4098 with another
provider, and complete this at their own cost, then approach Competenz to register as a
workplace assessor.
Scope Extensions
You can request your scope to be extended by contacting your Competenz Account
Manager or Moderator.
The moderator will consider the request and make a decision based on:
If Competenz is accredited.
Any special requirements needed to assess that unit standard (e.g. as shown in
the AMAP).
Your qualifications and experience.
The training plan of your company.
If you can assess the unit using a verifier.
