Rulings for interpreting specific MITO unit standards
This spreadsheet details MITO rulings for interpreting specific MITO unit standards. The spreadsheet is a living document; that is, it will be updated whenever MITO decides clarification around a unit standard is necessary.
Check the spreadsheet for information about specific unit standards prior to development of resource material in relation to those unit standards.
NZQA publishes a resource to help assessors with best practice in their assessment of unit standards.
Download a copy of Best Practice Principles for the Assessment of Unit Standards (NZQA).
