All accredited education organisations assessing against Careerforce unit standards are required to undergo moderation.
The 2017 Moderation timetable can be downloaded here.
If you have any questions, please email our National Moderator.
Pre-assessment moderation
Careerforce provides a template to assist with Pre-Moderation. You can access the template by downloading here.
Post-assessment moderation
Careerforce also provides a template to assist with Post-Moderation. You can access the template here.
Education Organisation forms
Our training is predominantly employer led, however other providers can deliver Careerforce qualifications with NZQA approval. Your organisation will need to apply for consent to assess, before you can start assessing Careerforce unit standards and qualifications.
Education providers can order assessor guides for those unit standards within their scope to assess.
Careerforce provides a cover page to attach to assessments. You can access this template here.
Appealing moderation decisions
Any organisation or individual with consent to assess may lodge an appeal against a moderation decision or process.
The first step is to seek a negotiated solution with the National Moderator.
If informal negotiation cannot resolve the issue then a written appeal should be lodged with Careerforce’s Manager, Products and Marketing. This appeal should include all relevant documentation and be lodged within 20 working days from when the final decision of the informal negotiation is communicated. The appeal will be investigated by Careerforce as soon as practicable and a decision reached within 20 working days of receipt of the appeal.
If resolution is not achieved, the CEO of Careerforce will make a final determination and decision for all parties.
