How picky are they with matching qualifications
Hi there
How strict are they with your qual matching the NZ equivalent. Example: I want to claim points for a qual in Environmental Science on the absolute skills shortage list. It says you need a Bsc in Environmental Studies at level 7. I did my qual in South Africa and it has already been assessed by NZQA. I got Bsc in Geography & Geolgy (level 7) and I did a one-year course for a Bsc Hons in Environmental Science (leve 8). Now, clearly that qualifies me to do the job of an Environmental Scientist (and I am doing just that) but will they be picky about the fact that it's not a Bsc Environmental Studies exactly! And who decides if it is equivalent. NZQA didn't say anything about it's equivalence. Is it the NZIS case officer that decides. |
Re: How picky are they with matching qualifications
NZIS will want your qualifications to match the level they set. So in a way, I suppose they are picky.
If you have had your quals assessed by NZQA and you match the standard set for the skilled occupation as stated by NZIS , then there shouldn't be a problem. It is the NZIS case officer who decides. If in doubt have the full NZQA assessment done perhaps . This will take into account all your quals and work exp. |
