What We Offer
Affinity Plus College supports tertiary education providers to strengthen programme quality, assessment practice, moderation systems, and NZQA compliance through practical, real-world consultancy and professional development services.
Our services include programme development and redevelopment, NZQA programme approval support, assessment and moderation consultancy, quality assurance advisory services, and customised workshops delivered online or in person. We work alongside providers to develop coherent programmes, strengthen assessment quality, align moderation processes, and enhance Quality Management Systems (QMS) to meet NZQA expectations.
Our support goes beyond one-off training. We partner with organisations to identify gaps, implement sustainable improvements, and build capability across academic and quality teams. We also develop customised e-learning solutions and practical resources that promote consistent assessment and moderation practice across the organisation.
Whether you require support with programme development, assessment design, moderation, NZQA compliance, or ongoing quality assurance, our focus is on delivering practical, evidence-based solutions that strengthen educational quality, support confident academic decision making, and contribute to positive learner outcomes.
