Who are our Assessment Design Training Courses for?
Our Assessment Design Training is for Tutors, Teachers &/or Workplace Assessors who hold unit standard 4098 and are in a position to move into developing new assessment materials or modifying existing materials.
We tend to offer this course to the organisations who have had also completed the 4098 Assessor Training Courses and for organisation who have 6 or more people within their organisation or area looking to do the Assessment Designer Training.
We will work with organisations who do not have 6 staff but are prepared to host and fill a course with at least 6 people at their place.

Design your own assessments or guides for your learner or trainees in the context and environment of your organisation or training course.
Modify existing assessments that do not ‘pass’ internal or external pre assessment moderation or that need to be updated to a new version of the standard.

1 on 1 Assessment Designer Training with an Assessment Training Consultant.
Edbiz Assessment Consultants have a limited ability to take on a person who is looking to become a qualified Assessment Designer.
We have found that not all organisations can get their staff to a public assessment design course within the timeframes they are after or do not have enough people within their organisation for one of our courses so we have introduced this delivery option.
You can start your course when you need to, and we will include the learning resources needed and work with the Candidate Designer and the organisation to determine the specific design considerations for your organisation, learners and the context of your learning environment.
This service benefits organisations looking to train one person to become their Assessment Writer and then move on to also do the Internal Moderator Training.
Edbiz also recognise prior learning and workplace experience so let us know about your background and we will further customise your learning or assessment.

Design Assessment Course Overview
Our 1 Day Assessment Design course leads on from the 4098 Assessor Training Course and experience with assessing candidates against unit standards and takes Assessors through the process of designing assessment material.
This generally includes Common Assessment Tasks and Assessment Schedules if you are assessing for a NZQA Provider or School and Assessor Guides and Evidence & Judgment Guides or Schedules if you are assessing under an ITO.
Assessors will develop assessments that meet the requirements and context of your learners, organisation, industry training organisation &/or standard setting body.
The design assessment activities course is designed as an interactive workshop focusing on applying the principles of quality assessment design. We utilise our proven design process to analysis the unit standards involved, select appropriate and valid assessment methods and develop assessment tasks or activities.
Assessment Designers then follow the organisation or widely accepted Provider Assessment Schedule or Evidence & Judgment Guide format to prepare evidence and judgment statements that directs Assessors to making consistent, fair assessment decisions based on sufficient and current evidence.
Assessment & Post Course Timeframes
Candidate Designers will then apply the knowledge , skills and process to their organisation for another two assessments that need to meet your internal quality assurance and moderation requirements. This evidence will then be compiled to produce a portfolio of evidence for assessment against unit standards 11552.
Please note:
1. The two sets of assessment material must be approved as meeting internal or external moderation requirements
2. You must seek out and consider stakeholder input . For example a Learner or an Assessor
One or both of these requirements may take time to process and one leads to the other. ie An Assessor cannot use assessments until they have been approved so allow for these timeframes after the course and after you have designed the two assessments.
