WorkX Add-on

A smarter way to prepare students for work

The WorkX LMS brings structured, evidence-backed learning directly into your Gateway and vocational programmes — designed for NZ schools and industry training organisations.

Used alongside the WorkX platform · Built for NZ secondary schools · NZQA unit standard aligned

Why it matters

Work-ready students don't happen by accident

Most vocational students arrive at their workplace placement without the foundational knowledge they need — health and safety, rights and responsibilities, how to behave professionally. The WorkX LMS closes that gap before they walk through the door.

Inconsistent preparation

Students arrive at placements with wildly different levels of readiness.

No way to prove it

Schools can't easily show evidence that pre-placement learning happened.

Generic, forgettable content

Off-the-shelf eLearning doesn't reflect NZ workplaces or NZQA standards.

What's inside

Everything students need to learn, prove, and progress

NZQA-aligned courses

Built to unit standards. L1 Health & Safety (US 497), L2 Safety in a BCATS Environment (US 24354), and more in development.

Microlearning lessons

Short, focused lessons of 5–15 minutes reduce cognitive load and improve completion rates. No overwhelming walls of text.

Spaced repetition reviews

After passing a lesson, students get automated review prompts at 3, 7, and 21 days — proven to double long-term retention.

Mastery gating

Students must demonstrate understanding (≥80%) before progressing. No skipping ahead. Real competency, not just clicks.

Gamification & progress

XP points, levels, badges, and streaks keep students motivated and give teachers a clear picture of engagement.

Scenario-based assessment

Real NZ workplace scenarios, not abstract multiple choice. Students apply knowledge to situations they'll actually face on site.

For schools

Finally — ditch the paper

Still printing assessment sheets, chasing signatures, and manually marking quizzes? The WorkX LMS replaces all of it with a fully digital system that saves time, produces better evidence, and actually engages students.

  • No more paper assessments

    Ditch the printing, marking, and filing. Every quiz, task, and completion is logged automatically in the platform.

  • See exactly where every student is up to

    A live dashboard shows each student's lesson progress, quiz scores, and which modules they've completed — at a glance, any time.

  • Quizzes that build and prove readiness

    Spaced quiz reviews reinforce learning over time and create an auditable evidence trail that students are genuinely ready for assessment — not just ticked a box.

  • Full course library included

    CVs, Health & Safety, Cover Letters, Interview Skills, Work Experience, Research Careers, Career Pathways and more. Core employability content ready to assign from day one.

  • Engaged students, less chasing

    Gamified learning with XP, badges, levels and streaks keeps students motivated and coming back. Less nagging, more doing.

  • Mark and give feedback easily

    Teacher marking panels are built into each course. Review student work, mark against NZQA performance criteria, and leave feedback — all in one place.

For providers

A fully digital training environment

No more paper booklets, postal assessments, or scanned PDFs. The WorkX LMS gives ITOs and training providers a modern, research-backed learning environment — with the oversight and tools to manage students across every school in your network.

  • Go fully digital

    Replace paper, mail, and scan workflows with a cloud-based system. Assessments submitted, marked, and stored digitally — accessible anywhere.

  • Dedicated roles for your whole team

    Separate seats for assessors, managers, and school liaisons. Everyone sees what they need, nothing they don't.

  • National oversight, one dashboard

    See every student's progress across every school in NZ from a single Training Adviser dashboard. No more chasing spreadsheets or calling coordinators.

  • Give feedback and monitor progress

    Leave feedback directly on student work. Track mastery scores, overdue reviews, and module completions — per student, per school, or across your whole cohort.

  • Message students directly

    Built-in messaging lets Training Advisers contact students without relying on school staff as intermediaries. Direct, traceable, professional.

  • Built on learning science

    Microlearning, spaced repetition, mastery gating, and gamification — the WorkX LMS is built on the latest research in information retention and assessment outcomes, not just feature checklists.

Evidence-backed

Not just features — science

g = 0.82

Effect size of gamification on student learning outcomes — well above the 0.60 threshold considered 'large' (meta-analysis, 5,071 students)

25–60%

Improvement in knowledge retention when using microlearning vs. traditional methods (systematic review, 40 studies, 2020–2024)

d = 0.54

Effect size of spaced repetition in classroom settings vs. massed practice (meta-analysis, 3,000+ students, 2025)
