Profile

Training and development has been a specialist focus for Pieter in his career. He knows the cost and benefit of focusing staff on quality in order to efficiently achieve the organisation's goals, and the role of written procedures to enable rapid learning and implementation. During Pieter's ten years in the tertiary sector he has helped new and existing tertiary education organisations with NZQA accreditations, approvals, audits, degree applications, programme changes, self assessment, external evaluation and reviews. He has also successfully assisted several organisations with applications for TEC funding as well as reporting to keep it and, in some cases, increase it.

Along with quality assurance and communication within the organisation, he is skilled and experienced in market analysis, marketing and stakeholder engagement to ensure optimum educational outcomes that align with community aspirations as well as  industry need.

His special interest is how the quality focus within TEOs aligns with
current NZQA emphasis on Self Assessment, and TEC emphasis on Education Performance Indicators.

Pieter has a proven record of providing practical training and documentation to ensure your staff are engaged with the relevant measures and procedures that will bring positive outcomes for your organisation.
