There are three different types of national external moderation activities

Post-assessment moderation – once standards are reported to NZQA, Toi Mai selects samples for submission to Quality Assurance for moderation.
Pre-assessment moderation – assessment material developed for unit standard delivery is submitted to Toi Mai for approval before use.
On-site or observed moderation – Toi Mai conducts on-site observation of assessors completing practical assessments with candidates.
