Assurance

Assuring awarded learners meet required standards.

The Assurance Team is responsible for assuring learners have met the required standard when they are awarded any one of Waihanga Ara Rau’s standards, qualifications or other credentials.  Activity is conducted in accordance with Consent and Moderation Requirements (CMR) and involves processes such as pre and Post-assessment moderation, and Consent to Assess. 

If you have any questions about these and other processes related to assurance such as site visits, BCATS for schools or Capstone Unit Standards, get in touch.
