PURPOSE OF THE UNIT STANDARD
This generic assessor unit standard is for those who assess people for their
achievement of learning outcomes in terms of specified criteria using pre-
designed assessment instruments. The outcomes and criteria may be defined in a
range of documents including but not limited to unit standards, exit level
outcomes, assessment standards, curriculum statements and qualifications.
Those who achieve this unit standard will be able to conduct assessments within
their fields of expertise. This unit standard will contribute towards the
achievement of a variety of qualifications, particularly within the fields of
Education Training and Development Practices and Human Resource
Development.
People credited with this unit standard are able to carry out assessments in a fair,
valid, reliable and practicable manner that is free of all bias and discrimination,
paying particular attention to the three groups targeted for redress: race, gender
and disability.

assumed, though, that the candidate-assessors have evaluative expertise within
the area of learning in which they intend to assess
