More than 40 tertiary education organisations (TEOs) are accredited to offer the Social Services Industry Training Organisation’s unit standards and qualifications. Some of these TEOs are private training establishments, some are government training establishments and some are polytechnics or Wānanga. 

If a TEO wants to assess their students against our unit standards, they must first become accredited on the National Qualification Framework (NQF). This means the TEO is considered capable of assessing these particular standards on the NQF.

The New Zealand Qualifications Authority (NZQA) is responsible for the NQF and makes the final decision to accredit a TEO. However, we must support the TEO’s application before the NZQA will consider it.
