UNIT STANDARD ASSESSOR CRITERIA 
When conducting assessments, assessors must ensure that they are familiar with the full text of the Unit Standards being assessed. They must ensure that the assessment covers the specific outcomes, critical cross-field outcomes and essential embedded knowledge. Assessment criteria have been included under each specific outcome.

As each situation is different, it will be necessary to develop assessment activities and tools, which are appropriate to the contexts in which learners are working. These activities and tools may include self-assessment, peer assessment, formative and summative assessment. Further guidelines on assessment of Unit Standards at this level can be found in the ABET Assessment Action Plan published by the Department of Education and from the relevant ETQA.

Method of assessment:

Guidelines on the full range of assessment methods are given in the ABET Assessment Action Plan. Methods could include:
  • Direct observation
  • Compiling a portfolio of evidence
  • Written or oral assessments
  • Testimony from a third party

    Integrated assessment:

    It maybe more effective and efficient to assess a number of unit standards together thus reducing the overall number of assessment 'events'.

    This information shows the current accreditations (i.e. those not past their accreditation end dates), and is the most complete record available to SAQA as of today. Some Primary or Delegated Quality Assurance Functionaries have a lag in their recording systems for provider accreditation, in turn leading to a lag in notifying SAQA of all the providers that they have accredited to offer qualifications and unit standards, as well as any extensions to accreditation end dates. The relevant Primary or Delegated Quality Assurance Functionary should be notified if a record appears to be missing from here.
