The New Zealand Qualifications Authority
(NZQA) was established by the government to set national training standards.
These standards are known as Unit Standards.
Unit standards are used to qualify all levels of training from
courses delivered by schools, right through to post graduate studies offered at
university. Nationally recognised Certificates are made up of Unit Standards and
they ensure that the training is delivered and assessed to a certain standard
and therefore will be recognised throughout New Zealand and also in some other
countries such as Australia, U.K. and Canada.
Organisations that are registered and accredited by NZQA
can offer training based on Unit Standards. This includes Universities,
Polytechnics, Industry Training Organisations (ITO's) and Private Training
Establishments (PTE's) .
Trainzco provides unit standard based training
and assessment on behalf of Polytechnics, ITO's and PTE's throughout New
Zealand.
Trainzco writes training resources and
assessment tools for ITO's, PTE's and our clients. These resources can
be unit standard, industry or company based packages and include
PowerPoint training tools, resource handout books for trainees and
specific assessment tools that verify an understanding of the
subject/unit being taught.
