Requirements for Consent to Assess (RCA)
Industry or sector-specific requirements for consent to assess
Appendix 2: Security sector
· Criterion 1 – Development and evaluation of teaching programmes
· Criterion 3 – Staff selection, appraisal and development
· Criterion 7 – Assessment
The criteria listed above were amended to reflect replacement of unit standard 21737, Manage violence and personal safety as a security officer with unit standard 32082, Mitigate the threat of violence to self and others from aggressive behaviours in a security context. To ensure consistency in the assessment of unit standards 32082 and 21738, Skills and the Security industry have developed and made available training and assessment guidelines for these unit standards that providers must comply with. Notes relating to these guidelines were added.
Appendix 6: Plumbing, Gasfitting and Drainlaying (PGD) sector
· Criterion 3 – Staff selection, appraisal and development
This criterion was amended to remove the hindrance in recruiting assessors to deliver and assess PGD qualifications.
Appendix 9: Roofing sector
· Criterion 3 – Staff selection, appraisal and development
This criterion was amended to support industry which finds it difficult to recruit roofing assessors who hold relevant New Zealand or national qualification to the unit standards that they are required to assess against as some tutors/assessors are experienced but do not hold the qualification. Other assessor criteria remain unchanged.
