The list of sector specific unit standards
The individual unit standard documents provide the detail of what will be assessed in each component of the national diplomas. When an individual has achieved all the components through assessment or exemption they could be awarded the qualification.
Only parts of these documents are registered by NZQA, this includes the information on the introductory page, the element titles and the left hand of the three columns titled performance criteria. The middle and right hand columns title ‘Candidate’ and ‘Assessor’ provide the plain English explanation of what the candidate must do and the assessment criteria the assessor will use.
