Become an assessor

Interested in becoming an assessor?
Assessing is a rewarding role where you help learners grow, develop industry skills, and achieve their goals. As an assessor, you’ll share your expertise, uphold industry standards, and make a meaningful impact in workplaces—all while advancing your own professional development.
Beyond technical knowledge, great assessors demonstrate strong professional behaviours. Active listening, clear communication, integrity, time management, cultural awareness, and unbiased judgment are all key to fair and effective assessment.
At Te Mahi Ako, we have a robust nomination process to ensure the right people step into this role. Check out our guide to see what it takes, and if you’re ready to get started, reach out to your nearest regional advisor.
Assessor Specific Requirements (ASRs)
Assessors play a crucial role in maintaining high-quality training and qualifications. To assess, you’ll need to meet the current Assessor Specific Requirements (ASRs) for your programme, which include relevant qualifications, industry experience, and ongoing professional development. To find out the specific ASRs for your programme, please contact your regional advisor, who will provide you with the correct information.
