Effective Assessing

Being a registered and knowledgeable Assessor is essential in South Africa’s outcomes-based training and development industry.  It is an added advantage if accredited facilitators are registered Assessors.  This means that the training facilitator understands the assessment and moderation process and is better able to prepare the learner for assessment.
