Default NZQA - qualifications assesment

Hi all,

I am in the process of getting my wife's qualifications assessed to bump up our score and am filling in the form for the NZQA online.

Now, she has a HND in disability studies from the University College of Wales Newport, which is the institution which awarded the qualification and the certificate but she never actually set foot in place.

She studied at our local college for three years which was franchised by the university to teach the subject and where she attended to gain her qualification.

So do I put the address of the university or the address of the local college?

Sorry if this seems dull question, but I did not want the NZQA contacting the university and them not having a record of her attending there, likewise I did not want them to research our local college and being confused that it was awarded elsewhere ...

So.. what do you think???

Have you registered on NZIS yet? When you fill in your EOI there is a list of acceptable qualifications and recognisable institutes there.


Hope it helps

I'm sort of in the same boat. I did my degree at what was then Nene College in Northampton, but my degree says Leicester University, as that's who awarded the degrees. I have no problem saying I have a degree from Leicester, as that's what it says on the certificate. But I'll always say I attended Nene College of Higher Education, now called the University of Northampton. This is not an uncommon practice, just be honest about it and you'll be fine.

Thanks, Sent it off now, just put in the University that awarded the qualification, see what happens.

Yep, I registered on the NZIS and am filling in the form, my engineering qualifications are covered on there but cannot see my wifes.

Sniffydog, thought the agency promise to get things done within 10 working days if no complications.
