When it asks whether you have a basic New Zealand qulification does this mean a recognised transferrable uk qualification or one gained in NZ?

Me and the missus read that Q as an actual NZ qual and so said no.

Dunno if it's right or not but we are about to submit our ITA and so it's got us this far. Fingers crossed eh?!

Hi,

Yeh its a NZ Qual, so if you have uk qual, you get it assessed by NZQA (its about $75 for immigiration qual review) and they will tell you if its basic NZ Qual.

Thanks.Now that would explain the points .So am I right in thinking that I can claim points for recognised qualification and a NZ basic qualification?

I am not expert on quals but I think thats right, if you have a recoginised qual (I am sure there is a list somewhere, with approved uni's in the UK etc.) you can count this.

Hi there,

I think that it refers to qualifications that are recognisable in NZ. The following link on the NZIS website shows a list of recognised UK qualifications:

Also I recruited a UK engineer with stacks of experience and no formal qualifications, and with job offer he had enough points.

Hope this helps.
