What We Offer

Affinity Plus College supports tertiary education providers to strengthen assessment quality, moderation practice, and NZQA compliance through practical, real-world solutions. We offer hands-on workshops and training (online or in-person) to build assessor capability, alongside tailored quality assurance advisory services that align your assessment systems, moderation processes, and QMS with NZQA expectations.

Our support goes beyond one-off training. We work with organisations to identify gaps, implement improvements, and embed sustainable QA practices. We also design customised e-learning solutions to scale assessor development and ensure consistent practice across teams.

Whether you need targeted support or ongoing QA partnership, our focus is on creating clear, consistent, and moderation-ready assessment systems that are robust, well-aligned, and support confident decision-making.

  • Practical, hands-on workshops designed to build assessor capability and strengthen moderation practice.

    We offer in-person and online sessions focused on pre-assessment moderation, post-assessment moderation, and marking practice, tailored to your programme, your team, and your internal systems. Participants leave with clear expectations, shared judgement, and tools they can apply immediately.

    Best for: Teams needing immediate capability uplift or a starting point for improving assessment practice.

  • Focused support to strengthen specific assessments, moderation processes, or assessor decisions.

    This includes assessment design/redesign, pre- and post-assessment moderation, and external moderation preparation.

    Best for: Providers preparing for NZQA review, strengthening systems, or wanting consistent oversight and guidance.
