Guidelines for assuring national consistency

Whakataki

A key feature of New Zealand qualifications is that they can be obtained through different pathways, programmes, and education organisations.

Our quality assurance shows that graduates who have completed their qualifications through different programmes are all achieving the graduate outcomes to an equivalent standard.

The quality assurance process used is assuring national consistency of graduate outcomes. It applies to New Zealand qualifications at Levels 1 to 6 that are listed on the New Zealand Qualifications Framework (NZQF).

Assuring national consistency of graduate outcomes is a process developed to maintain trust in New Zealand qualifications and the underlying knowledge, skills and attributes that graduates gain.
