International Qualifications Assessment Applications
Ensuring all required original documentation is included in the application will greatly assist in progressing the evaluation. The following documents are required:-
| Documents req'd | Additional comments | |
|---|---|---|
| Certificate of completion of final year at general or junior secondary level | ||
| Degrees and diplomas, or other award certificates from tertiary institutions, trade schools, technical colleges or specialised senior secondary schools | NZQA needs evidence of more than just your highest qualification. If, for example, you have a master's degree, NZQA needs to see your bachelor's degree and transcripts as well. NZQA needs this so that it can see the progression and content of your tertiary education | |
| Transcripts of results, mark sheets or academic records for degrees, diplomas or other award certificates | If the institution where you studied does not provide transcripts or mark sheets, you will need to provide the equivalent information. This may be an index book, a diploma supplement or an official curriculum. If none of these documents are issued, NZQA requires an original letter or other evidence from the institution showing your course content. | |
| Evidence of vocational or trades training (apprenticeship contracts, completion certificates and trade tests, if applicable) | NZQA may also require a certified copy of the official syllabus/curriculum for the course of study and / or training completed | |
| Employment records or employer references describing your work experience and/or current practising certificate, registration or licence as appropriate |  When you are sure you have got all the documents we require, READ THE APPLICATION GUIDELINES before you start your application. |
Do not send certificates from informal courses or in-service education, as NZQA is unable to assess these qualifications.
