List of qualifications exempt from assessment new zealand

In New Zealand, some qualifications are exempt from assessment by the New Zealand Qualifications Authority (NZQA) under certain circumstances. Here are some examples:

  1. Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL): NZQA recognizes prior learning and experience gained through work, volunteering, or other activities. This means that individuals can apply for recognition of their existing skills and knowledge without having to complete a formal qualification.
  2. Recognition of Current Competence (RCC): Similar to RPL, RCC recognizes the current competence of individuals who have already gained the necessary skills and knowledge through work or other activities.
  3. Recognition of Overseas Qualifications: NZQA recognizes qualifications gained overseas, provided they are equivalent to a New Zealand qualification. This can save individuals the time and cost of completing a New Zealand qualification.
  4. Recognition of Qualifications from Other NZQA-Approved Providers: NZQA recognizes qualifications gained from other NZQA-approved providers, such as universities, polytechnics, and private training establishments.
  5. Recognition of Qualifications from Other Countries with a Mutual Recognition Agreement: NZQA has mutual recognition agreements with some countries, which allows for the recognition of qualifications gained in those countries.
  6. Recognition of Qualifications from the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF): NZQA recognizes qualifications gained from the AQF, which includes qualifications from Australian universities, colleges, and training providers.
  7. Recognition of Qualifications from the United Kingdom's Qualifications and Credit Framework (QCF): NZQA recognizes qualifications gained from the QCF, which includes qualifications from UK universities, colleges, and training providers.
  8. Recognition of Qualifications from the European Qualifications Framework (EQF): NZQA recognizes qualifications gained from the EQF, which includes qualifications from European countries that have adopted the EQF.
  9. Recognition of Qualifications from the International Baccalaureate (IB): NZQA recognizes IB diplomas and certificates, which are recognized globally.
  10. Recognition of Qualifications from the Cambridge International Examinations (CIE): NZQA recognizes CIE qualifications, which are recognized globally.

These are just a few examples of qualifications that may be exempt from assessment by NZQA. If you're unsure whether your qualification is recognized, you can contact NZQA or the relevant provider for more information.
