Hi
I was going to do this in the next few days but just wondered if I really needed to submit OH's qualifications to NZQA.
They are on the approved list and we had a preliminary assessment (you know the quick e-mail one) that gave us the required level for his degree but do we still need to do the full assessment (we are claiming bonus points for his qualification in an area of absolute skills shortage).
Thanks

thanks guys. Better do it anyway. Although slightly worrying comment from Rock Ape but better to be realistic hey.

Yup - just got ITA (wow, that was quick) and yes, do have to have full NZQA assessment.
what does the full assessment say - does anyone know?
this is what I need: Level 7 comparable to Bachelor of Science in Environmental Studies.
Will my full assessment say whether or not my qual is comparable to Bsc in Environ studies or will it just give a level. I only ask because the wording of my degree doesn't say 'Environmental studies' it says 'Environmental Science' so I'm hoping it's just a wording thing and not a course content thing - eek, starting to worry now.

We lodged our ITA on 13th Aug 2008 (without job offer) and received an e-mail today telling us that my OH has to have his qualifications assessed by NZQA and that they must have the information returned by 26th Oct or it will delay our application process. Judging by Rockape the chances of this are slim, great! Has everyone elses taken so long? Twinkie.
