The purpose of SMS certification programme is to ensure that the Student Management System (SMS) interfaces correctly with the Ministry of Education’s systems – National Student Index (NSI) and Single Data Return (SDR), and that data passed to the Ministry of Education is an accurate representation of that entered.

This programme certifies:
** that the method by which the SMS interfaces with the NSI, works as specified in Guide to Integrating with National Student Index (GINS).
** that the SDR files created by the SMS, comply with the requirements detailed in the SDR manual.
** that the data in the SDR files accurately reflect the data that was entered into the SMS.

This programme does not certify:
Any business practices, processes and health of the SMS Vendor, the user interface, underlying functionality, performance, or security of the SMS.

First Time SMS Certification:
For SMS Vendors who would like to participate in the Certification Programme, the SMS Certification would include both NSI and SDR certification.

First time certification could take place any time in the year. However, it is highly recommended that any new SMS Vendor contacts the Ministry about the certification in advance.

If you have any queries regarding the SMS Certification Programme please contact us at MoE.ServiceDesk AT minedu.govt.nz.

Certified Student Management Systems:
Certified systems have been verified by the Ministry to confirm that they interface correctly with the Ministry of Education’s NSI and eSDR systems, that the SDR file format meets the requirements set out in the SDR Manual for the year named, and that the NSI and SDR data passed to the Ministry is an accurate representation of the data entered.

The systems architecture, usability, performance, and anything not explicitly stated above as being covered is considered to be outside the scope of the certification programme. In providing this certification the Ministry makes no warranty, expressed or implied, nor assumes any legal liability or responsibility for the system.
