Purpose
This course is designed to train and qualify experienced personnel to prepare and conduct assessment against standards in the workplace, complete assessment administration, and review the assessment and assessment practice.
The course emphasises the use of assessment to continually improve training and assessment practice, as much as providing a means of judging competence.
The course focuses on ensuring the collection and sufficiency of valid evidence to assure judgements of competency.
The course provides appropriate training and qualification for anyone engaged as a workplace assessor: For example, as an on-the-job or Industry Training Organisation (ITO) assessor.

At the completion of this course, successful trainees will be able to:
- Prepare candidates for assessment processes
- Determine candidates readiness for assessment
- Review assessment preparation processes
- Conduct assessments

- Review assessment practice
Course Structure
Due to the requirements of the units within this course, the course is structured as a two (2) day face to face training session, where trainees will be provided theory and practical application of assessment methods and tools.

Special Notes
It is essential that the assessments providing evidence for these unit standards are real. Simulations will not be used for the assessment of unit standards unless their use is common practice for the type of unit standard being assessed e.g. emergency response.
If trainees do not have access to appropriate assessments, relevant pre-moderated assessment material may be purchased from VHNZ. VHNZ will provide hard copies of the assessments, a marking guide, and a moderation report, for a small fee. Your Industry Training Organisation (ITO) may also be able to provide you with premoderated assessments.
Entry Criteria

Trainees to bring: A pen and paper; a workplace standard, an assessment they can use to assess learners in the workplace if they have one and want to assess against it.
