Connexis Assessor Registration Guide
Introduction
This registration guide is for those working within the Infrastructure industry who want to apply to become a
Connexis Registered assessor and undertake assessments in the workplace. It includes all assessors meeting
NZTA requirements.
Industry workplace assessors play a vital role in the assessment of workplace candidates and modern
apprentices. Connexis is required to maintain a register of all assessors who report unit standard
credits through Connexis.
The key role of Connexis-registered assessors is to assess the competence of candidates against unit
standards that Connexis sets, or has consent to assess.
This guide gives an overall view of the assessor process. Assessors should familiarise themselves with the
associated policies and procedures outlined in the Connexis Moderation and Assessment Policy and Procedure
(CMAPP) document in relation to assessor registration. This document is available on the Connexis website.
