What is quality audit?
NZQA is moving to a new quality assurance framework involving self-assessment and external evaluation and review . During the transition period some tertiary organisations will still undergo quality audits.
A quality audit enables NZQA to check on the quality of education and training being delivered. The audit evaluates the organisation's performance in relation to a quality standard. The standard that applies depends on the type of education organisation, as listed below.
| Type of TEO | Quality standard | ||
