How do I become a Registered Assessor?

To become a registered ITRA Assessor:

Assessors are appointed by ITRA after undergoing a structured process that requires them to show evidence of experience, qualifications and competency in the areas they wish to assess in. ITRA Assessors are those that are responsible for assessing ITRA Instructors.

The primary role of the assessor is to ensure that each Instructor demonstrates performance of the required competencies in a safe, effective, and professional manner and, in accordance with ITRA systems and standards. Once appointed, assessors may conduct assessment on behalf of ITRA in accordance with the criteria as laid out in this document.

Application process

The following principles apply to the appointment of an Assessor:

• Applicants must provide relevant and current evidence of experience, qualifications and competency along with two references
• The Assessor pathway is based on being a current Level 3 & ITRA Instructor
• Assessors will qualify by means of physically demonstrating (to a current ITRA Instructor/Assessor) an assessment of a student or students
• This may be facilitated at the same time as Instructor re-qualification
• The Instructor/Assessor Candidate Skill Sheet is used to record the assessment
• Assessors must maintain competency (by being a current ITRA Instructor) and access any ITRA updates or training (such as online learning)
• Those ITRA Assessors currently on the system will remain in that status providing they are current in their chosen discipline at Level 3 and are current Instructors.
