Consent to assess is granted by the New Zealand Qualifications Authority (NZQA). It allows education organisations to assess and award credit for unit or achievement standards listed on the Directory of Assessment Standards (DAS). Information on the consent to assess process can be found on the NZQA website.
As part of the consent to assess application process, providers were required to supply a letter of support from the relevant Workforce Development Council (WDC) confirming that the provider met industry and assessment requirements set out in CMR 0014.
CMR 0014, the main CMR for manufacturing, logistics and engineering standards, contains the criteria providers must comply with before they can assess against unit standards in the scope of the CMR. It also outlines the moderation process that organisations with consent to assess agree to engage in.
Providers previously applied to Hanga-Aro-Rau for support for consent to assess by completing this application form and emailing it to the moderation team at Hanga-Aro-Rau. Applications for a letter of support for consent to assess were processed within 20 working days.
NZQA made the final decision to grant consent to assess. To maintain consent to assess, providers must continue to meet the requirements of the CMR.
This information reflects the role of Workforce Development Councils prior to their disestablishment. Details about the new Industry Skills Bodies (ISBs), including updated processes and contact information, will be added to this page once they are confirmed.
