An assessor judges whether a learner is competent, using fair, valid and reliable methods, and records the evidence. A moderator checks the assessor's work: whether assessments were designed and marked consistently and to standard. If you want to assess, start with the assessor course. If you already assess and want to quality-assure others, the moderator course is the next step.
