How assessments work

Questions in the quiz will either be marked:
- Through Canvas (questions that are multi-choice, true/false, fill-in-the-gap, matching). You will get your results instantly; or
- By an e-assessor (questions that require you to type an answer, draw a picture, or upload anything). These will take longer to mark so it will be longer before you get your results; or
- A mixture of both the results of which will not be released until all have been marked.
All questions are open book.
The assessment must be all your own work.
Often on-line assessments are only part of the requirement for the unit standard – you may need to achieve practical tasks as well – this is known as on-job.
On-job assessments are usually observations of practical tasks which may be done by your assessor, a Training Advisor or a workplace verifier (such as your manager). They may also ask you questions related to what you are doing.
You must get 100% in your assessments to gain an ‘achieved’ pass.
If you don't agree with an assessment outcome, you can appeal. The process is:
- Firstly, discuss the issue with your assessor to try and resolve it.
- If that's not possible, then you should complete this form and email to Competenz within 10 working days of the assessment date. Explain exactly what the problem is.
- Competenz will investigate and make a decision to uphold the result or change it.
- You will be contacted about the outcome of the appeal.
- Send the appeal to: postmod@competenz.org.nz
