NZQA Assessment of Learning Unit Standards – Unit Standard 4098
Unit Standard 4098 is the NZQA qualification you need to have to become an Assessor in New Zealand.
People who hold unit standard 4098 and also have the required experience and/or qualifications in their area of expertise can assess other people against a specific range of unit standards.
We have provided a summary of the NZQA Unit Standard 4098 and 11281 taken from the NZQA unit standard document. We have done this so that the requirements within the standard are not taken out of context or interpreted incorrectly.
