The Assurance Team is responsible for ensuring that assessors make valid assessment decisions and that learners meet the required standard when they are awarded a Waihanga Ara standard, qualification, or micro-credential.

There are two teams dedicated to the assurance mahi:
Mike Grumball (GM Assurance), Joy Potter (Insights and Projects Manager) and Te Hapimana King (Mātauranga & Te Reo Māori Assurance Manager) complete the Assurance Team.
We are holding a series of webinars and workshops for schools and providers. Unless specified as suited to a particular audience group, our events are open to everyone, and we encourage you to attend.
The 2024 Assurance Plan builds on the work we started in 2023 and the reflection undertaken by our Assurance Team at the end of 2023. The plan outlines our approach, principles, and deliverables for 2024. It reflects our collaborative and evaluative approach with a focus on continuous improvement. The plan is embedded with the principles of Mātauranga Māori through our Tēnei Te Ara Poutama framework, which has been designed specifically for the Assurance Team.
We will continue the work we started in 2023 through a series of projects where we will work with industry and providers to continuously improve the outcomes for both industry and ākonga by making small incremental changes that will add up to significant change over time.
