Employment history and skills
If you plan to live in New Zealand, you may need to get your international qualifications recognised so you can work, study or apply to immigrate to New Zealand.
The New Zealand Qualifications Authority (NZQA) is the government agency responsible for International Qualification Assessment and they are able to assess which New Zealand qualifications are similar to those you have gained overseas. Please refer to our post below entitled “Qualifications (NZQA)” for more details.
