Building Strong Assessment Systems: QMS in Action

About this Event

Managing assessment moderation isn’t just about compliance — it’s about building a strong, sustainable Quality Management System (QMS) that supports valid, fair, and consistent assessor decisions.

In this practical and conversation-based workshop, you’ll learn how to connect moderation activities with your wider quality assurance processes. You’ll explore what effective planning, documentation, and system monitoring look like, and how to strengthen your QMS so it meets NZQA expectations while genuinely supporting your assessors and learners.

You’ll Learn How To:

• Align assessment moderation processes within your organisation’s QMS
• Plan and document moderation activities that drive continuous improvement
• Identify key risks and gaps in current systems — and how to address them
• Prepare for external moderation or validation with confidence
• Build a culture of quality, reflection, and shared assessor judgement
