External Evaluation and Review Report
Equilibrium by Elite Limited trading as Evolution School of Beauty, Massage and Spa
Summary of results
Evolution provides quality training programmes that meet the needs of at-risk, mostly female Māori learners, many of whom are disengaged from education.
Employers gain graduates with positive attitudes and the capability to learn. Self-assessment is used to make improvements to teaching and learning.
Highly Confident in educational performance
Confident in capability in self-assessment
• Evolution meets the most important educational needs of the students, employers, the community and government agencies over time.
• For 2020-22, qualification completions across all programmes offered were 89, 67 and 93 per cent respectively. These results are exemplary given the demographic of at-risk learners.
• Students attain academic and personal goals that enable them to take increasing responsibility for their work and personal lives.
• Exceptional pastoral support, highly committed staff, clear values and an aspirational strategic vision enhance student wellbeing. Individuals, whānau and communities are developed and advanced.
• Governance and management are effective at supporting educational achievement, with 2024 enrolment numbers now at pre-Covid levels.
• NZQA’s consistency review and programme monitoring report were a catalyst to review systems for evidence-gathering, to contract in expertise, and to engage proactively with NZQA.
• Equilibrium has made recent staff appointments to increase both capacity and capability in quality assurance. Self-assessment is effective but not yet fully embedded across all academic staff.
