National external moderation

There are three different types of national external moderation activities

• pre-assessment moderation – assessment materials are moderated prior to use with candidates
• on-site moderation – assessors’ decisions are moderated while a candidate is being assessed
• post-assessment moderation – assessors’ decisions are moderated after the assessment has taken place.

Pre-assessment moderation

Pre-assessment moderation will continue as specified in the current CMR documents.

Providers (including schools) need to complete a pre-assessment moderation cover sheet and email their required documentation and the coversheet to [email protected]. There is no charge for pre-assessment moderation.

Moderation appeals process

Providers may wish to appeal moderation decisions made by Toi Mai.

Appeals must be received within 15 working days of receiving the moderation outcome report. Providers need to complete a moderation appeal form and email it to [email protected]

Need help?

Creating assessment material can feel quite overwhelming at times. Due to this, we have created a guidance document, which will help you write assessment material that will get the green tick when submitted for pre-moderation.

You can access this guidance document here.
