About

NCEA Hub was a Windows Store app to help students track their progress towards achieving an NCEA qualification, the official secondary-school qualification in New Zealand. The app allows students working towards a Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 NCEA certificate to keep track of how many credits they have achieved as well as access information and resources about subjects and achievement standards. I built NCEA Hub in my spare time while working towards an Level 2 NCEA qualification because I wanted a better way of tracking my NCEA certificate progress.

In addition to allowing students to enter their results, the app also contains an internal database of NCEA subjects and standards. As their was no API to access this data at the time, the database was periodically rebuilt by a custom C# tool. This tool scraped the NZQA website for subject and standard information, extracted specific achievement criteria from Microsoft Word standard documents and produced a structured format that could be searched within the app.
