Assessment
Those undertaking assessment against this unit standard should note that work in
the industrial rope access industry usually takes place at heights well above ground
level, and therefore requires a relevant level of physical fitness and ability to work at
heights;
For the purpose of assessment against this unit standard, it is expected that the
advanced recovery using industrial rope access system will be demonstrated on a
simulated unconscious patient.

Please note
Providers must be granted consent to assess against standards (accredited) by NZQA,
before they can report credits from assessment against unit standards or deliver courses
of study leading to that assessment.
Industry Training Organisations must be granted consent to assess against standards by
NZQA before they can register credits from assessment against unit standards.
Providers and Industry Training Organisations, which have been granted consent and
which are assessing against unit standards must engage with the moderation system that
applies to those standards.
Requirements for consent to assess and an outline of the moderation system that applies
to this standard are outlined in the Consent and Moderation Requirements (CMRs). The
CMR also includes useful information about special requirements for organisations wishing
