Guidelines for evaluative quality assurance

Whakataki

These guidelines summarise Te Hono o Te Kahurangi quality assurance processes for tertiary education organisations that are submitting applications relating to:

• the registration of a private training establishment
• the registration of assessment standards on the Directory of Assessment Standards
• consent to assess against standards and approval to develop
• listing new qualifications at levels 1 to 10 on the New Zealand Qualification Framework.

They also include Te Hono o Te Kahurangi quality assurance processes for tertiary education organisations that are scheduled to carry out:

• a degree monitoring visit
• a external evaluation and review.

These guidelines inform tertiary education organisations about how New Zealand Qualification Authority (NZQA) quality assures educational outcomes. They also show how NZQA prioritises Mātauranga Māori and the acceleration of Māori learner success in the tertiary education context.
