MODERATOR UNIT STANDARD (ID 115759): CONDUCT MODERATION OF OUTCOMES-BASED ASSESSMENTS, NQF LEVEL 6, CREDITS 10

What is moderation?
Moderation is the process which ensures that assessment of the outcomes described in the NQF standards and qualifications is fair, reliable and valid.

How do you make sure it’s reliable?
It is the responsibility of the Moderator to moderate assessment in terms of the relevant outcome statements and quality assurance requirements.

Do Moderators need any other qualifications?
All candidates wishing to become Moderators should already be qualified Assessors.

Do Moderators need to be registered?
Yes! The responsibility of the Moderator is great and thus they need to meet a high standard of criteria and have to be registered before they are allowed to moderate.
