Adding Unit standards to your course

Note: Your organisation must be set as an NZQA provider to use this functionality.

Unit standards are assigned to courses so that a student can be aware of the credits they will receive upon course completion.

Administrators set up unit standards in advance of assigning them to a specific course.

Creating a unit standard

To do this, navigate to Qualifications > Unit Standards and click on 'Add unit standard' at the top of the screen.

Fill in the provided fields and click 'Save' when done.

The unit standard will then be saved to the unit standard list. You can view it by clicking the 'View' button on the end of the row, and edit / delete it from the additional options in the dropdown at the end of the row.

Assigning a unit standard to a course

After you have created your unit standard, you can easily assign it to any course in the course settings.

Navigate to Courses > Manage and find the course that you wish to add the unit standard to. Open the settings for that course by clicking on the cog at the end of the row.

Click on 'Unit-standard' and click in the search box to open the drop down. Find and select the unit standard that we just created. Once finished, click 'Save' to lock in your changes.
