Pieter Watson

Board Member

Training and development has been a specialist focus for Pieter in his career. He knows the benefit and cost 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 15 years in the tertiary sector he has helped new and existing tertiary education organisations achieve success with NZQA accreditations, approvals, audits & evaluations, degree applications and monitoring, programme approvals & changes, self-assessment and external evaluation & review.

Pieter has successfully assisted several organisations with Category 1 EER outcomes, as well as TEC funding applications, Investment Plans and Single Data Return reporting. He has been the National Manager of a SAC-funded PTE that also had international students and which ran ESOL and foundation courses as well as multi-year qualifications including a Bachelors with staircasing to polytechs and international universities.

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

For the Graduate Diploma Pieter researched quality reporting within PTEs, including how the various Student Management Systems can be used to track and report student achievement.

His special interest is how the quality focus within TEOs aligns with current NZQA emphasis on Self Assessment, and with the TEC emphasis on Education Performance Indicators. He has read and analysed hundreds of EER reports.

Pieter has a proven record of providing practical training and documentation to ensure staff are engaged with relevant measures and procedures. By identifying shared goals and streamlining reporting he has helped bring positive outcomes for many organisations.

He has run workshops on self-assessment and EER at several ITENZ conferences, including "Self assessment starts with a Y" at the September 2014 ITENZ Conference.
