Course planning
Resource selection
Choose from paper based student learning material and assessments or blended online learning material with videos, quizzes, PDFs and paper assessments. Products come in Individual Training Packs (ITP) – resources for a single unit standard, or Multi Training Packs (MTP) – a collection of ServiceIQ resources for more than one unit standard.
Moderation
Pre-moderation – This is undertaken by Ringa Hora. ServiceIQ assessments are provided to you pre-moderated by the WDC – there is nothing more that you need to do. Schools writing their own assessments are required by NZQA to have these assessments pre-moderated by Ringa Hora: this involves checking assessment material before use to ensure it meets the national standard, and is fair, valid, and consistent.
Post-moderation – This is undertaken by Ringa Hora. It involves checking the marking of the assessment after it has been completed, to ensure this meets the national standard; and is fair, valid, and consistent. Post-moderation will be requested by Ringa Hora through their Assessment Intention Plan (AIP) – the WDC will be in touch with you about post-moderation and the AIP.
Applying to extend scope
Consent to Assess is granted by the New Zealand Qualifications Authority (NZQA). Schools’ Consent to Assess Scope can be found on the NZQA website. Secondary schools are automatically granted a Base Scope of Consent to Assess against standards.
