FAQs About Assessment & Moderation

What is assessment moderation in skills development?
Moderation is a quality assurance process where a moderator reviews assessment decisions made by assessors to ensure consistency, fairness, and alignment with assessment criteria. It's required for both internal quality management and external verification.
Who can moderate assessments?
Assessments must be moderated by registered moderators who are qualified for the specific qualification or unit standards being assessed. Moderators should be independent from the assessment process they are reviewing.
How does skillSYMS support the moderation process?
skillSYMS provides tools for moderation sampling, reviewer assignment, recording moderation findings, tracking recommendations, and generating moderation reports. Moderators can review evidence and assessment decisions digitally.
What is a moderation sample?
A moderation sample is a selected subset of assessments that a moderator reviews. Typically, this is 10-20% of assessments or a minimum number per assessor. skillSYMS helps you select and track these samples systematically.
What happens if moderation finds issues?
If moderation identifies inconsistencies or concerns, these are recorded as recommendations. skillSYMS tracks these findings and alerts the relevant assessors. Reassessment may be required, and the system tracks until resolution.
