About this template
This template maps a New Zealand program or provider to NZQA’s External Evaluation and Review (EER) framework — its Evaluative Areas and Indicators — with “informs” edges connecting your evidence to the areas it speaks to. It makes an EER self-assessment explorable rather than a long written narrative.
EER asks how well a provider is performing across its Evaluative Areas. A network map lets an evaluation team explore your evidence by area and Indicator, and helps you see where your self-assessment is well-supported and where it isn’t.
Fork it, confirm the Evaluative Areas and Indicators, add your program, and connect your evidence with “informs” links.
When to use it
- You are a New Zealand provider preparing for an NZQA External Evaluation and Review.
- You are building an EER self-assessment.
- You want to organise evidence by Evaluative Area and Indicator.
- You want to see where your self-assessment is under-supported.

Frequently asked questions
- What is NZQA’s External Evaluation and Review (EER)?

- What does the “informs” link mean?
- It connects a piece of your evidence to the Evaluative Area or Indicator it speaks to — showing evaluators what supports your self-assessment for each area.
- Can I customise it for my provider?
- Yes. Fork it, keep the EER structure, and connect your own program and evidence. Publish it so your evaluation team can explore it directly.
