The guide resource is based on the best available evidence from a research project involving an analysis of New Zealand and international literature, a survey of ITOs, and focus groups
with ITO assessors and ITO staff.
The primary intended audience for the guide is quality assurance and assessment staff at Industry Training Organisations (ITO). However, employers and workplace-based assessors, training advisors or managers, as well as roving (ITO-contracted) assessors, may also find it useful.
