I am currently getting my documents together to send off to the New Zealand Qualifications Authority to get my qualifications assessed so I can start looking for work in New Zealand.

The problem is i don't understand exactly what is being asked for in terms of documentation.

e.g. A certificate of completion of final year at junior secondary school - i'm not sure i've got one of those - would GCSE certificates do?
Next 'transcripts of results, mark sheets or academic records for degrees, diplomas or other certificates - does this mean Degree certificates?

Please advise if you can help - the process costs NZ$450 so i want to be sure i'm sending the right things!
thanks

Photocopy everything and send everything you have got. For NZD$450, make 'em work for the money.

We basically sent everything my hubby was ever given by his colleges/schools!! Even school reports! (but I seriously don't think they needed these however hubby was being pedantic)

The term 'transcripts' always confused me, I assumed the the extra piece of paper you get with a certificate of qualification - it lists what you studied (i.e. the syllabus) on that particular course/degree.

A transcript of results is the actual breakdown of your results from a degree or other qualification. I know because I just had to get one. Try going to the website of your institution and do a search for "academic transcripts". My uni had an application form online and I got the paperwork through in less than 2 weeks.
Hope this helps.
