NZQA Assessment requirements *

Post-Course professional discussions (interviews via video link)
Completion of 5 workplace-based practical procurement assignments with at least one deliverable every three months.

Self management of my study programme *

I will aim to complete the qualification within 14 months of start date. To achieve this, I will take personal responsibility for completing at least one deliverable assignment to my assessor every three months. I accept that I may need to invest up to one day outside business hours every three months in order to remain suitable for this qualification.

Proactive communication *

I will notify my assessor proactively if there is any reason that may limit my ability to complete the qualification within 14 months. I will respond promptly to communications (including follow-up, written feedback and assignment tasks) from my assessor.

Use Clever Buying Materials *

To maximise efficiency in assessment, I will use the assignment templates and guidelines provided by Clever Buying for my assignments, unless otherwise agreed with my assessor. I will check my materials carefully before submitting them to ensure they are complete and have followed the guidelines.

The following fee structure applies:

I will first attend a two-day block course, valued at $1400 + GST. Following the block course, assessment of this qualification typically is valued between $1800 - $3000 + GST, depending on the level of guidance provided by the assessor.
Provided I have a training agreement and Training Plan with Connexis ITO, the fees will be covered by NZ Government as part of the TTAF fund.
If assessment time is likely to exceed this allowance, I will be notified.
I agree to pay Clever Buying directly on invoice for any assessor time that exceeds the $3,000 which is government-funded.
