Quality counts: Keeping qualifications meaningful and consistent

28/04/2025

At ServiceIQ, we know that every qualification must do more than just look good on paper – it has to deliver in the real world.


That’s why our Quality Assurance team plays such a vital role behind the scenes, participating each year in NZQA Consistency Reviews for a range of qualifications. It’s part of our commitment to ensuring every graduate is equipped with the skills and knowledge their qualification promises — no matter where or how they trained.

Put simply, these reviews ask:

  • Can a graduate actually do what the qualification says they can?
  • Are learners across the country meeting the same high standard?
  • Does the qualification deliver real value to employers and the industry?

By answering those questions, consistency reviews help uphold the strength and reputation of New Zealand qualifications – something recognised both here and around the world.


Your voice matters

Feedback from learners and employers is a key part of this process.

“We really appreciate the time people take to share their experiences,” says the Ivonne Brooker-Leon, ServiceIQ Quality Assurance Manager “It’s how we make sure our programmes remain current, relevant, and effective across all sectors we support.”

Participation is easy:

  • Keep an eye out for an online survey (sent to recent graduates and their employers).
  • You may also be invited to a one-on-one interview to share deeper insights.

If you've already contributed – thank you! Your input is helping shape the future of vocational training in Aotearoa.
