Strengthening Assessment, Moderation, and Quality Assurance in NZ Tertiary Education
What makes us different?
We’re a practical hub for NZ tertiary and vocational education providers seeking stronger assessment, moderation, and quality assurance practice — not just theory.
Led by Jane Elderkin, a quality assurance and moderation specialist with extensive experience supporting NZ tertiary and vocational education providers.
We support educators, assessors, and academic quality teams to design, review, and improve assessment and moderation systems that are fit for purpose, consistent, and aligned with NZQA expectations.
Our work focuses on real-world assessment and moderation practice, delivered through live in-person and online workshops, alongside a growing library of bite-sized digital resources, micro-courses, and adaptable QA tools.
We work with:
Tertiary and vocational education providers (Private Training Establishments PTES and similar organisations)
