Pre assesement of qualifications
Hi all have just had my qualifications pre assessed by the NZQA below is the result of that.
On the information available, the New Zealand Qualifications Authority (NZQA) assesses this qualification as comparable to the learning outcome of level 3 on the New Zealand Register of Quality Assured Qualifications.
.I work in child care in the UK does anyone know if Level three is good and will it be enough for me to get a job in New Zealand.
Many thanks Helen

Re: Pre assesement of qualifications
Hi Helen,
I work in childcare in the uk, and am emigrating to NZ this year. I am a qualified social worker and my qualifications was assessed as level 7 which is at degree or dipoma level in NZ.
Just out of interest are you applying through the skilled migrant category?
If you need to know anything else or want any advice please PM me.
Thanks.
