Includes action plan, action log and evaluation form templates.
These templates guide students, step-by-step, through the assessment.
They are a great way of monitoring progress and ensuring that all steps (and requirements)
have been met for this assessment.
This is a role-play and scenario-based assessment.
The role plays are supported by detailed Listening Skills and Assertiveness Skills checklists.
These provide clear guidance for observers, and allow students to clearly understand the
requirements of this assessment.
Includes glossary boxes for key definitions and terms to assist students.
Demonstrate understanding of ways in which well-being can change and strategies
to support well-being
•
•
•
This scenario-based assessment breaks down each requirement into manageable steps via
easy to use student response forms and tables.
The focus here is on making the assessment as ‘user-friendly’ as possible, given the
theoretical nature of the achievement standard.
Key assessment-related terms such as ‘insightful explanation’ are explained to demystify the
process.

(HT 2.5)
The grading for this assessment can be a difficult task given the subtle differences between
Excellence, Merit and Achieved.
As a result, teachers are supported by full written exemplars for each of the above grades,
and also for (High) Not Achieved.
Assessor comments, which focus on how to identify the differences between the grades, give
teachers further support.
This is a group project-based assessment.
As with HT 1.1, action plan and evidence log templates are provided, along with clear, stepby-step instructions.
Given the practical emphasis of this assessment, the focus is on creating opportunities for
students to record and gather evidence of the implementation of their action plan.
Exemplars for Excellence, Merit, Achieved, and (High) Not Achieved follow the same project
from start to finish.
Analyse issues related to sexuality and gender to develop strategies for addressing
the issues
•
•
•
•
Students are asked to research and then create a report
Supporting information is provided to assist students, including advice and a checklist on
gathering and documenting evidence.
Key assessment definitions and terms are explained, and examples are given to help students
follow instructions accurately.
Teachers will find the student exemplars and assessor’s notes particularly helpful in
determining whether or not their students have critically engaged with the evidence (one of
the requirements for Excellence).
Quality Assured Assessment Materials (QAAM)
Quality assured assessment materials (with QAAM certification) mean you can be
sure that:
• your students are given the best opportunity to achieve at each level
• the assessment schedule you are using is at the national standard.
Instant is one of the first organisations to offer assessments with the new NZQA
QAAM trademark. All assessment resources are subjected to the scrutiny of a
number of NZQA moderators, including the National Moderator for an academic
subject area. This is a rigorous quality assurance process which ensures that our
assessments meet best practice assessment methods. Once this is achieved the
QAAM trademark is granted to Instant for use.
QAAMed materials are quality assured to the same standard as an external
examination paper.
Teaching and learning materials which support assessment
The content of these materials is specifically tailored to align with the requirements
of the particular standard and the New Zealand Curriculum.
The materials include (where relevant):
• direct links to the assessment materials
• content and activities which help to ensure students have the knowledge and
practice opportunities to achieve up to Excellence.
Teacher’s Notes key features (where relevant):
• comprehensive support notes on the delivery of learning content, with practical
suggestions for how to carry out activities
• numerous resource links and references for additional learning content and
activities throughout
• detailed explanation of key terms and definitions (with a particular focus on
how these are to be used in the assessment)
• detailed activity answers
• templates for action plans, activity logs, evaluation forms.
Learner’s Guides key features (where relevant):
• learning content is delivered via scenarios and worked examples, which focus
on ‘real life’ situations rather than loads of theory!
• use of real articles, web pages, etc that students will encounter in their research
of a topic, along with explanations to develop critical thinking
• structured in a way that parallels and complements the assessment process
• glossary boxes with key terms and definitions placed alongside relevant
learning content
• flowcharts showing overall process to be undertaken provide student with
a roadmap of learning content, and ultimately key steps in the assessment

Research/report based assessment (includes key questions to help students focus their
research on ‘implications’ and their ‘significance’).
Step by step ‘how to’ instructions ensure students are able to cover all requirements of the
assessment (eg how to draw justified conclusions).
Indicative student exemplars for Excellence, Merit and Achieved are provided for Teachers (as
detailed extracts, with supporting notes and assessor’s comments).
* Level 2 Standards are produced to the same standard but are not QAAM certified.
Quality Assured Assessment Materials (QAAM)
Quality assured assessment materials (with QAAM certification) mean you can be
sure that:
• your students are given the best opportunity to achieve at each level
• the assessment schedule you are using is at the national standard.
Instant is one of the first organisations to offer assessments with the new NZQA
QAAM trademark. All assessment resources are subjected to the scrutiny of a
number of NZQA moderators, including the National Moderator for an academic
subject area. This is a rigorous quality assurance process which ensures that our
assessments meet best practice assessment methods. Once this is achieved the
QAAM trademark is granted to Instant for use.
QAAMed materials are quality assured to the same standard as an external
examination paper.
NOTE: For Home Economics, QAAM certification applies to Level 1
standards only (HE1.1, HE1.2, HE 1.4)

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Why should learners
study Personal Financial
Management?
Personal Financial Management (PFM) is the ideal subject for
helping learners understand everyday decisions around saving,
spending, and earning money. Our delivery packages have been
carefully designed to help learners develop financial literacy, set
financial goals, and understand how to achieve these objectives.
Each package is written in easy to understand language and
contains a glossary to aid in literacy development.
2. Which PFM unit standards
are available?
Instant has developed a suite of PFM units that we consider to
be essential when preparing for the future. These unit standards
cover basic concepts such as creating and monitoring budgets,
planning, goal setting, savings and investment. We also cover
comparing and choosing different financial options and how to
navigate significant life events successfully. These topics
provide good, solid guidance for learners to help them evaluate
present and future financial decisions and goals.
3. Why do the new units have
AME grading?
New PFM units now have an Achieved, Merit and Excellence
criteria for assessments. This allows learners to be rewarded
for maximised study and effort. In most cases Merit allows for
detailed comparisons, explanations, and analysis. Excellence
allows for comprehensive comparisons, explanations and
justifications for processes followed.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference
between workplace
conditions that are closely
simulated, a simulated
workplace, and a role play?
When workplace conditions are closely simulated it means that
the experience for learners is essentially the same as working in
an actual workplace.
A simulated workplace is where some conditions can be created
for the learner that are similar to a workplace. An example of
this is the Instant assessment for unit 11816, which provides
workplace requirements, customer requirements, and templates
to use to prepare responses to customers.
A role play is the acting out of a situation. There are instances
where a role play may be able to be used within a simulated
workplace assessment.
I have a learner who wants
to complete a unit that
requires an actual workplace
or workplace conditions
that are closely simulated.
The learner doesn’t have a
workplace and our training/
educational establishment
doesn’t have a simulated
workplace such as a model
office or salon. Are there
any other options?
The learner may be able to complete the assessment at an
organisation where they are a volunteer.
The learner may be able to complete the assessment as part of
a work placement that could be arranged as part of their course
or learning programme.
The learner may be able to complete the assessment as part of
a work placement at your training or educational establishment,
for example by:
• completing a work placement in the main reception or
careers centre administration office
• completing a work placement in the cafeteria
• completing a work placement in the library or sports coordination office.
In all these cases, the learner will need to complete the
assessment in accordance with workplace requirements.
