Does my New Zealand qualification need to be assessed by NZQA?

If you are claiming SMC points (or bonus points) for a New Zealand qualification, you will need to provide evidence of the New Zealand Qualifications Authority (NZQA) level that your qualification was assessed under.

This evidence can be obtained from the NZQA website, where you can search for your NZ qualification, and print out the Qualification Overview report that is displayed for it.

This report must then be attached to your qualification as evidence of the NZQA level when your application is submitted to Immigration New Zealand.
