LearnWell resources for NCEA Level 1

We are very busy making resources for the new standards and will let you know as soon as they become available. Stay updated with LearnWell's progress on NCEA resources by subscribing to our emails at the bottom of this page.

While you are waiting, we know that many of our current resources still cover the requirements for various new NCEA standards. We have looked at the subject coverage required for the new standards and mapped these to our current resources. 

The NCEA Change Programme involves rebuilding the achievement standards so that there are fewer of them but they each cover a broader range of knowledge, skills and capabilities. This means that many of the new standards will align with parts of more than one existing standard. You may need to use more than one of our existing resources to cover the full requirements of a new standard.

Find out which of LearnWell's existing resources could be used with the new NCEA Level 1 standards by clicking on the links to the resource maps below.

Following the Education Review Office (ERO) announcement on 26 November 2024 [RNZ and ERO], we’ve made the difficult decision to put most of our new NCEA Level 1 resources on hold.

However, a few resources in Commerce and Science that align with recent curriculum changes are almost ready and will be released in the coming months. Developed with great care and expertise, these represent an outstanding  NCEA Level 1 option for New Zealand students. If you’d like to explore them for yourself, we’ll let you know as soon as they’re ready—just get in touch.

In the meantime, we encourage you to check out our Level 1 mapping guide (above). It highlights how many of our trusted resources align with the new curriculum and continue to provide reliable support for learning.

New NCEA Achievement Standards: There was an update to the Level 1 Achievement Standards in 2024.  New publishing reflects these new study and assessment requirements. The best way to check which resource you need is to ask your student or by using  the five digit number of the AS e.g. 92020

 

Expired NCEA Achievement Standards: These are the Achievement Standards that were retired in 2024. However, many schools are choosing to create their own Year 11 courses in place of NCEA Level 1. They often use the pre-2024 AS as the basis of the learning and assessment. The best way to check which resource you need is to ask your student or by using  the five digit number of the AS e.g. 91924
