Support for Training Providers and Tertiary Education Organisations (TEOs)

NZQA PTE (Private Training Establishment) Registration

We provide guidance through the NZQA Private Training Establishment (PTE) registration process. Our service includes support in identifying your organisation’s relevant requirements, preparing and submitting all necessary documentation, developing policies and procedures that meet NZQA requirements, and ensuring compliance with education standards.

Consent to Assess

Navigating the consent to assess process can be complex. Our team assists organisations in preparing and submitting robust applications to gain NZQA accreditation for qualifications, unit standards and the new skill standards. We guide you through the requirements, ensuring that your application demonstrates the necessary resources, facilities, and staff capabilities to meet NZQA criteria for delivering high-quality, accredited training.

Programme Development and Programme Approval

We offer tailored programmes that can either be for in-house training, or for training providers to achieve NZQA Programme Approval. We can develop programmes that meet the needs of learners and align with your training needs. Our expertise includes curriculum design, learning outcomes, WDC and NZQA applications. We ensure that programmes are not only compliant with NZQA guidelines but also relevant to learners, industry needs, and the communities they serve.

Learning and Assessment Resource Development

We specialise in developing customised learning and assessment resources that are engaging, culturally responsive, and can align with NZQA qualifications. Our resources include course materials, assessments, practical exercises, and digital content, ensuring that they meet educational standards while supporting learner success. We collaborate with subject matter experts to create relevant and high-quality resources that meet the specific needs of both learners and trainers.

Mapping Organisational Training to NZQA Qualifications

If your organisation provides internal training, we can help you map these programmes to nationally recognised NZQA qualifications through our Alignment process. This service supports companies that partner with a training provider or Te Pūkenga and enable learners to receive formal recognition for their skills and competencies.

Pre and Post Moderation

We offer pre-assessment and post-assessment moderation services to help ensure the validity and consistency of your assessments. Our pre-assessment moderation service involves reviewing assessment materials before they are used, to ensure they are fair, aligned with learning outcomes and meet NZQA standards. Post-moderation services review completed assessments to verify that assessor marking is consistent and meets the required competency levels. This process enhances the credibility of your assessments and ensures ongoing quality assurance and continuous improvement.

Quality Assurance, Self-Reviews and External Education Reviews (EER)

Our quality assurance services prepare your institution for EERs conducted by NZQA. We assist in reviewing and strengthening your internal processes, ensuring they meet national education standards and guidelines. This includes support in governance, learner support systems, and processes. We help you to present strong evidence of continuous improvement and quality outcomes in order to achieve successful results in provider category ratings.
