Please note
Providers must be granted consent to assess against standards (accredited) by NZQA, or
an inter-institutional body with delegated authority for quality assurance, before they can
report credits from assessment against 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 standards.
Providers and Industry Training Organisations, which have been granted consent and
which are assessing against standards must engage with the moderation system that
applies to those standards.
Consent requirements and an outline of the moderation system that applies to this
standard are outlined in the Accreditation and Moderation Action Plan (AMAP). The
AMAP also includes useful information about special requirements for organisations
wishing to develop education and training programmes, such as minimum qualifications for
tutors and assessors, and special resource requirements.
