For organisations that hold NZQA unit standards
Manage unit standards from NZQA to graduate results.
Standards Manager keeps every unit standard you hold current, helps you write and moderate assessments, and records each learner's results against the criteria.
Standards Manager
Your standards
Everything about the standards you hold, in one place.
| Feature | What it does |
|---|---|
| Unit standards register | Every unit standard you hold in one list. Filter by domain, year and NZQA status (current, retiring or retired). Each row shows moderation, results and assessment resource status. |
| Import from NZQA | Brings a unit standard in from NZQA's published details so you don't retype it. |
| Standard overview | One page per standard: version, level, level descriptor, CMR reference, currency status and consent to assess. |
| Consent to assess check | Checks each standard against your NZQA consent so you can see which ones you're allowed to assess. |
| Currency watch | Checks each standard's status about once a week and warns you when one is being revised, retired or replaced. If it can't tell, it says so rather than guessing. |
| CMR store and refresh | Keeps each standard's CMR on file and pulls the latest version when it changes. |
| Quick search and setup checklist | Finds any standard fast, and walks a new user through getting set up. |
Standards Manager
Writing assessments
Author, store and approve the assessment materials for each standard.
| Feature | What it does |
|---|---|
| Assessment resource library | Upload, preview and approve assessment resources and assessor guides. Keeps several versions, with one marked as the default. |
| AI assessment drafting | Drafts an assessment resource, assessor guide or field observation sheet from the standard's CMR and your reference material. You review it, then approve, reject or regenerate. |
| Reference materials | Keeps the files and links behind each standard's assessment. |
| PDF exports | Print-ready PDFs of the resource, a pre-moderation report and a field observation sheet. |
| Assessment prep courses | Turns an approved assessment into a short learning course that gets students ready before they're assessed. |
Standards Manager
Moderation
Check assessments before use and review learner work afterwards.
| Feature | What it does |
|---|---|
| Moderation hub | The year's moderation work in one place: what's due, what's in progress and recent activity. |
| AI pre-moderation | Checks an assessment against each criterion before it's used, suggests fixes and produces a report. A person confirms every judgement. |
| Post-moderation | Upload learner work, moderate it against the standard, then record and report the actions needed. |
| Moderation discussion links | Secure links for discussing a moderation with someone outside your organisation. |
| Moderation history | A full record of past moderation for audit and review. |
Standards Manager
Delivery and results
Run cohorts, judge each criterion and report to the client.
| Feature | What it does |
|---|---|
| Cohorts | Tracks each group you teach from first enquiry through to closed, including sessions and attendance. |
| Clients | Records of the schools or partners you deliver for. |
| Learners | Learner records and the unit standards each learner is working on. A learner doesn't need to be in a cohort. |
| Criterion-by-criterion judging | Records the evidence and decision against each criterion for each student, with AI-suggested feedback. |
| AI writing check | Flags learner writing that may be AI-generated. Can be turned on or off for each standard. |
| Student assessment links | Gives each student a secure link to complete their assessment online. |
| Marking queue | Shows assessors what is waiting to be marked. |
| Bulk results entry | Enter or upload a whole group's results at once. |
| Delivery reports | Builds a summary report for a cohort and sends it to the client. |
Standards Manager
Reporting
Results and decisions you can export and trace back.
| Feature | What it does |
|---|---|
| Outcomes register | Results across every delivery by year, with learner details, ready to export. |
| Judgements report | Every criterion decision, filterable by result and source. |
| Reference register | The rule sets the system judges against (moderation criteria, NZQF level descriptors and CMR content), so every decision can be traced back. |
