To work as an Assessor for Health Ed Trust unit standard 4098 “Use Standards to assess candidate performance” is required. Also the Assessor needs to complete the Assessor Application Form to show evidence that skills, knowledge and experience have been attained to become a capable Assessor.
To obtain unit standard 4098, staff can complete the Health Ed Trust On-site Assessors Course. (This programme also contains unit standard 11281 “Prepare candidate for assessment.”) This is a flexible learning programme – completed in your workplace at a time that is convenient to you.
All material is supplied with the Course. As with all the ACE courses, pay once and use the materials as many times as you need.
Health Ed Trust also recommends that each facility has more than one Assessor. Senior caregivers may fulfil the requirements to become an Assessor.
If you wish to purchase this course please print the Subscription form and send to Health Ed Trust.
Unit standard 4098 is a generic unit standard and once achieved means the student can apply to become a roving assessor with Careerforce. Please contact Careerforce for details.
Assessment
All Health Ed Trust programmes need to be assessed by a qualified Assessor (see above).
Assessment is in most cases completed on-site by an Assessor appointed by the facility or organisation they work in. Assessors also assist in programme delivery and student guidance.
If the company does not have an On-site Assessor there are often other Assessors available in your area who will assess students work.
This can be a one-off arrangement through to a permanent position where the Assessor delivers the programme on a regular basis.
To obtain the name of an Assessor please contact the Health Ed Trust office.
