What is a Moderator?

A Moderator is a trained professional who ensures that assessments meet the required standards for accuracy, fairness, and consistency across different assessors. Moderators play an essential role in maintaining the quality of assessments within the education and training sector, supporting the credibility of qualifications issued in South Africa.

Why is Moderator Registration Important?

Moderation is a vital part of the education and training process, as it assures the integrity of assessments.
