About Us

At Ace Moderation -

We strive to help TEOs meet the expectations of NZQA's tertiary education evaluation indicators (TEIs) in relation to internal moderation, by offering a comprehensive pre-moderation and post-moderation service for business related certificate, diploma and degree programmes.

Our team consists of passionate educators with:

Extensive teaching experience both locally and internationally
Subject matter expertise (at doctoral level)
NZQA external moderation experience
Instructional design skills and knowledge
Extensive assessment development experience.

Our vision is to see the New Zealand education system setting global trends.

Our mission is to support the quality assurance systems of Tertiary Education Organisations (TEO’s) to enhance credibility of assessment.

Our objective is to follow the international best practices, and guidelines of New Zealand Qualification Authority (NZQA) to ensure that your assessments are fair, valid and purposefully aligned with learning outcomes and assessor decisions are verified.

With our collaboration, you will be able to effectively address the following most critical issues associated with your internal moderation process.

Services

Lack of understanding and commitment to quality assurance

Lack of knowledge on the NZQA guidelines, instructional/learning design principles and educational practices

Lack of experience in learning resource/assessment development

Lack of resources (time, staff and funding) allocated to assessment development and moderation

Lack of professional advice on assessment development (staff moderate their own assessments)

Difficulty in arriving at a consensus when moderating peer work (biased and non- constructive feedback often provided)

Lack of consistency in moderation practices.
