Who assesses the Certified BCS Assessors?
The Programme calibration team tests the accuracy of Certified BCS Assessors, ensuring they all score the same throughout New Zealand and regardless of their profession or level of experience.

Programme calibration team
The Calibration Team (CT) is made up of
- Four DairyNZ Animal Husbandry Extension Specialists (AHES)
- Eight external Rural Professionals (Calibration Assessors)
- A mix of Veterinarians and Farm Consultants.
The CT meets six-monthly to check their calibration and to be assessed. The level of accuracy required for the Calibration Team is set at a higher level than that for a Certified Assessor.
