National External Moderation for Tertiary Education Organisations

Tertiary Assessment and Moderation (TAM)

Tertiary Assessment and Moderation (TAM) manages national external moderation in tertiary moderation systems (for example, Core Skills) for standards for which NZQA is the Standard Setting Body (SSB).

Within TAM, Assessment and Moderation Facilitators (AMFs) monitor and support a group of TEOs through the national external moderation process.

The AMFs also liaise with, and monitor the work of, moderators across a group of moderation systems.

TAM's Operation Officers provide administrative support for these activities.

TAM collates and analyses individual TEO national external moderation results and reports its findings annually to the TEO and the relevant quality assurance body.

Queries regarding moderation reports and unit standard interpretations

Clarifications and queries regarding moderation reports should be directed to TAM, rather than individual moderator/s.

Clarifications related to unit standard interpretations should be directed to National Qualifications Services or Maori Qualifications Services.

If you have any questions relating to assessment and moderation or require further assistance in the first instance, please refer to your organisation's Moderation Liaison person or ask them to contact us at:
