Requirements for Consent to Assess (RCA)

· Criterion 7 the length of time for organisations to hold assessment material was reduced from two years to one year to align with NZQA practice.

Moderation Requirements (MR)

Moderation System

· Publication dates for peer moderation meeting were removed to provide more reasonable expectations for communication during the early part of the year.

· The sentence which implied attendance at peer moderation was optional was removed, because all organisations are required to attend.
