General information

Gaining recognition for assessment skills

Assessors wishing to develop their skills should be aware of the following unit standards:

4098 Use standards to assess candidate performance
11551 Moderate assessment
11552 Design assessment
18203 Verify evidence for assessment for candidate

Many tertiary providers and industry training organisations offer training and/or assessment for these standards.

Requirements for assessing against generic computing unit standards

Providers and Industry Training Organisations (ITOs) must be accredited by the Qualifications Authority before they can offer assessment against generic computing unit standards. Once they are accredited, providers and ITOs assessing against unit standards must carry out internal moderation and engage with the external moderation system that applies to those unit standards.

Schools

Schools wishing to assess generic computing unit standards for the first time should refer to their School Principal's Nominee, Accreditation and Moderation Action Plan 0226 and NZQA Secondary Education Group's School Relationship Managers for further information.

All other providers

All other providers wishing to assess generic computing unit standards for the first time should refer to their provider contact person, Accreditation and Moderation Action Plan 0226, and NZQA Tertiary, Assessment and Moderation for further information.

Feedback on unit standards

Please note that NZQA values your feedback on computing unit standards at any time, and uses it to inform unit standard revisions and reviews. All feedback should be addressed to National Qualifications Services
