| Duration: |
-2.5 Day’s (Depending on the number of learners and special needs) |
| POE: |
Outcomes Based Education require the learner to compile a Portfolio Of Evidence (POE) to be submitted to establish competence in area of learning. All documentation (templates for the purpose of learning) will be provided to the learner during the learning intervention. Learners will be given 3 months in order to complete the requirements of the POE. |
| Certification: |
-Learners will be issued a letter of attendance once the POE was submitted and assessed with a result of competence.
-Certificate of competence and statement of results will only be issued once the POE moderated and the learner was successfully uploaded by us onto the ETDP SETA Database. NOTE: Learners require the Statement of Results as proof of competence in order to apply to your relevant SETA as subject matter expert in your field. We |

Learners will be required to register with their relevant SETA’s with proof with their Competency results “Statement of Results”. All required documentation and process will be made available to the learner during this training intervention. |
| Purpose: |
This unit standard is for people who conduct internal or external moderation of outcomes-based assessments. The assessments could be in terms of outcomes defined in a number of documents, including but not limited to unit standards, exit level outcomes, assessment standards, curriculum statements and qualifications. This unit standard will contribute towards the achievement of a variety of qualifications particularly within the field of Education Training and Development Practices and Human Resource Development.
Those who have achieved this unit standard will be able to moderate assessments in terms of the relevant outcome statements and quality assurance requirements. The candidate-moderator will be able to use the prescribed Quality Assurance procedures 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. |

As learners apply these skills, they produce evidence, which needs to be compiled into a portfolio of evidence (POE). This POE is submitted to Trainyoucan for assessment.Learners will receive a workbook and portfolio guide, which will guide them thorough the process. Any additional resources required will be provided by Trainyoucan to the learner, free of charge. |
| POE: |

| Learning Outcomes: |
1. Demonstrate understanding of moderation within the context of an outcomes-based assessment system,
2. Plan and prepare for moderation,
3. Conduct moderation,
4. Advise and support assessors,
5. Report, record and administer moderation, and
6. Review moderation systems and processes. |
| Range Statement: |
1. This is a generic unit standard, and applies to internal and/or external moderation within all fields of learning. It is accepted that moderation happens in different ways and at different levels in different sectors, including different models for what constitutes internal versus external moderation. This standard is intended to cover any situation in which moderation occurs, whether this be internally, i.e. within the ambit of the provider-assessor, or externally through cooperating providers, or externally through professional bodies and quality assurance bodies.
# 2. Assessment of candidate-moderators will only be valid for award of this unit standard if the following requirements are met: Moderation is carried out for assessments that include candidates with special needs, and RPL situations. Where real assessments are not available to cover these situations, the candidate is able to demonstrate how special needs and RPL situations would be addressed within their moderation plan and process.
# Moderation covers assessment instruments, assessment design and methodology, assessment records; assessment decisions, reporting and feedback mechanisms.
# Moderation is carried out for assessments involving a variety of assessment techniques, such as work samples, simulations, role-plays, written items, oral, portfolios and projects.
# Moderation activities include pre-assessment interactions with assessors, interactions during assessments and post-assessment interactions.
# Moderation involves at least two sets of real assessment materials for the same standards and at least six assessor decisions.
# The assessments that are moderated are in relation to a significant, meaningful and coherent outcome statement that includes assessment criteria and allows for judgements of competence in line with SAQA's definition of competence i.e. embraces foundational, practical and reflexive dimensions of competence. This means that moderation of simple, single-task assessments will not be valid for awarding this unit standard.
3. For the purposes of assessment against this unit standard, candidate-moderators should have access to organisational assessment and moderation policies, procedures and systems. It is assumed the organisational policies and procedures are of a quality sufficient for accreditation purposes. Where candidate-moderators are assessed in organisations that do not have a moderation system in place, assessors of moderators should provide a mock system for the purposes of the assessment.
4. This unit standard applies to all Moderators, regardless of whether a person carries out moderation internally, as part of an organisation's quality assurance system, or externally, as part of an ETQA or other process to verify assessment results supplied by the provider or assessment agency.
Further range statements are provided in the body of the unit standard where they apply to particular specific outcomes or assessment criteria. |
