The above achievement standards have been registered with NZQA and are now available for schools to assess. The implementation plan for external moderation of these standards is detailed below.

Implementation Plan

  1. In 2018, schools may choose to assess their students against these new standards.
  2. This year, schools may submit their materials and/or assessor decisions to NZQA for feedback-purposes only. If your school would like to receive feedback on assessment materials and/or assessor decisions this year, please complete the attached template (XLSX, 10KB) and email it to ams@nzqa.govt.nz.
  3. In 2019, schools may continue to provide material for feedback purposes only, or request formal external moderation of the new standards. They will need to arrange this with their School Relationship Manager.
  4. The selection of these standards by NZQA for external moderation will occur from 2020. They have not been selected for external; moderation in 2018.
