UK Midiwife to NZ
Hi
Any UK midwives who have just gained their NZ registration?
Did you have to have your midwifery qualification assessed by NZQA or did they accept it was equivalent to level 7 by having your registration?
Cheers and thanks

Re: UK Midiwife to NZ
If your talking about qulaificatipn assesment for INZ then yes if tou hold a NZ registration then they class tou as having a level 7 without further NZQA assesmemt, of you are talking about gaining registration then thos is done on a case by case basis and they will make the decision on the basis of the paperwork you send them

Just wondering if any one recently has had this issue, as professional registration was considered enough proof.
Cheers and thanks

Hmmmm unfortunately immigration agents can and will interperet the rules diffirently, the phrase that applies here is
It has been assessed by a New Zealand registration authority at the same level as a qualification on the List of Qualifications Exempt from Assessment as part of an application for New Zealand occupational registration;
i cant see anywhere on the INZ site that this is no longer the case
my residency was granted at the beginning of this year and no hint of NZQA assesment was given i sent in my registration certificate and the councils own documents on registration requirements, However if her INZ case worker has asked specifically for an NZQA assesment then thats what she has to get (i assuke thats who you mean by immigration agent)
