Assessor course
This course is for people who assess or intend to assess candidates against unit standards and/or qualifications. People who have done this course will be able to conduct assessments within their fields of expertise in line with the criteria for the registration of assessors.
This workshop is based on the SAQA-registered unit standard 115753 - Plan and Conduct Outcomes Based Assessments, NQF Level 5 with 15 credits.
Workshop learning objectives
In preparing for assessment against Unit Standard 115753, participants will learn how to:

Workshop methodology
Learners are required to participate fully in group and individual learning activities throughout the workshop. Furthermore, learners are encouraged at all times to identify and express their specific learning needs and also to contribute to the pool of knowledge from their own experience.
Assessment
During the workshop, participants will be briefed on how to prepare and present a portfolio of evidence for assessment against the unit standard.
As soon as a candidate assessor is found to be competent, and once endorsement has been received from the ETDP SETA, we will issue the necessary certificate. This certificate will be accepted by all ETQAs should you wish to register as an assessor.
Setting up assessment systems
SMAB Training Institute is available to assist with the setting up of assessment systems within the workplace as well as with the implementation and facilitation of Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) processes.
Recognition of prior learning
Learner assessors who have attended an assessment training course or have learned to assess through experience, can apply to us for assistance to recognize their prior learning and to receive a certificate after assessment.
The assessment assignment
The assessment assignment consists of doing an assessment against a unit standard in your field. This assessment is recorded using our portfolio of evidence framework.
The role of the assessor
The role of the assessor is to assess a learner's competence against standards and qualifications registered on the NQF, using pre-designed instruments. An assessor must do this in a manner that is fair, valid, reliable, and practicable and without bias or discrimination.
What is a registered assessor?
A registered assessor is someone who:
• is competent against the generic unit standard 115753 Plan and Conduct Outcome Based Assessments, and
• Meets the relevant ETQA assessor registration requirements.
This means the assessor must be qualified and experienced to assess within a specific field of learning and/or work.

• Line staff responsible for assessment in the workplace (such as supervisors).
