To ensure better quality assessments in their horticulture programme, EIT asked Muka Tangata to post-assessment moderate a sample of their Learning Outcome assessments (not unit or skill standard assessments). As a result of this collaboration, EIT has added confidence and clarity in their marking process. 

“We have excellent internal pre-moderation systems that work well,” says Clare Buckner, EIT Programme Coordinator, “but external moderation has always been more challenging.” 

We stepped in to offer optional post-assessment moderation, providing EIT with detailed, professional feedback on their assessments.  

“Muka Tangata post-moderated our assessments in a very timely way, with great feedback,” says Clare. “Your comments and phone call made me feel confident in your abilities to offer constructive and robust feedback.” 

While not a mandatory process, this external review helped EIT validate their own internal marking and ensured their practices met high standards.  

“You’re [Muka Tangata] professional moderators, so your feedback is clear and articulate. You quickly calibrate where an assessment sits, if it’s over-assessing or not valid – helping ensure consistency across the food and fibre sector.”
