Clearing
up confusion
Please remember that to obtain credits against assessor unit
standards and be endorsed by the ETDP SETA against these standards does
not mean that you are registered as an assessor. To obtain registration,
consult your ETQA now! They require, in addition to your assessor achievement,
evidence that you are a subject matter expert and require registration against
specific unit standards and qualifications. You can register with as many
ETQAs as necessary as an assessor against those specific unit standards
and qualifications provided you meet the criteria for registration with
each ETQA. |
|
You can find the revised unit standards on the SAQA website under
the following ID numbers:
115753 – Conduct outcomes-based assessment
115755 – Design and develop outcomes-based assessments
115759 – Conduct moderation of outcomes-based assessments |
|
| The “old assessor standard” registered as NLRD ID 7978 with SAQA
still remain in force and will be phased out in the next two years. The
“new assessor standard” registered as NLRD ID 115753 is a revised version
and there are changes, which all providers of assessor training must take
into consideration. SAQA has been approached regarding the change in ID
numbers and we have been told that there will be a link made between the
two ID numbers on the website so that it does not appear to be a new standard
but a revised version of an existing standard. |
|
| The changes made to the standard have largely been to address quality
assurance issues and to make the kind of evidence that is required more
explicit by the standard and not subject to various interpretations as it
has been. It has essentially been revised to emphasise embedded outcomes
and to ensure that there is sufficient evidence that the candidate has in
fact applied the standard in the real world. Changes made to the standard
were also introduced to ensure appropriate implementation in the workplace.
It is impossible to provide evidence of workplace implementation at the
end of a training session |
|
| Please remember that once you are awarded credits on the NQF, these
can never be retracted. So rest assured that if you have been endorsed against
these unit standards, you are eligible for registration as an assessor.
But – remember to update your course if you are a training provider of the
assessor standard! |
