NZQA - How long did you wait?

skends · Jun 30th 2012, 10:35 am

Hi all,
Just out of interest i wonder how long your NZQA application took for IQA.
I know it says 35 working days - i couldn't afford the fast track service.
I submited on the 15 june and they received my accompanying documents on the 22 june.
thanks in advnace.

Hi skends,
My assessment took 3 weeks and i was issued with a certificate to present to the plumbers, gas and drain layers board to get a permit to work, we were told the entire process could take 3 months,
hope this is of help
regards

They received my document on 6 June. Assessment is in Evaluation phase since 15 June. I am getting worried why it is taking long time....

Hi,
Last date to apply SFV is 11th Aug for me. I am worried if I will get the assessment report by that time..

have you let them know of the time scales, maybe worth a quick polite chase up

Hi,
Finally my application is in signoff step.

Writing an email and telling the case officer the time lines do help..

skends · Jul 17th 2012, 5:16 pm

wow - thanks for that - i will get on to them!

softwareEngineer · Jul 18th 2012, 3:34 am

Now It is stuck in Sign Off step...

. I am planning to write another email requesting them to close my case and send me the IQA report...

skends · Jul 18th 2012, 6:45 pm

oh no, email them - you have nothing to loose! i think its a complete joke!! There are people working in NZ with my qualification!! I fail to see why i had to pay £400 for them to check it out!! Rant over - lol

softwareEngineer · Jul 19th 2012, 7:45 am

Finally my application is in Notification step. Will they notify me on email or they will just dispatch the document and IQA report...

Thanks in advance

skends · Jul 19th 2012, 5:28 pm

i imagine they will send you a certificate so that you can put it in with your ITA documents, not 100% sure though.

skends · Jul 31st 2012, 8:02 pm

Well, the best way to get things done expeditiously is unfortunately by paying more. Whilst these things may be important, these authorities also need to make profits.

However, one tip is that if you send all your correct documentation (to avoid any requests again for the same unclear documents). Check your post box or address for responses from the assessors to make this quicker by being more proactive. They may ask for a verification from the academic institution of your qualification. So you need to act quickly on that.

This may be the best tip to speed it up. Just some suggestions. Could cut it down to 25 days. If you want faster, just have to pay more.
