Last year Muka Tangata began working with providers to improve outcomes for training providers in the Apiculture industry. 

Interventions like this are a key tool in supporting improvements to assessment processes and meeting national standards for external moderation. 

As a result of these efforts, the providers who did not meet moderation requirements in 2023 all successfully met these requirements for 2024, as well as achieving a 90% moderation verification rate.  

Across the Apiculture industry, provider compliance increased from 0% in 2023 to 100% in 2024 – an outstanding result, and improvements that should provide the sector with confidence in the quality of assessment, ensuring better outcomes for providers, employers, and ākonga.
