Immigrants who apply for residence in New Zealand under the Skilled Migrant Category may need to have their qualifications assessed by the New Zealand Qualifications Authority (NZQA). Find out whether you need your qualifications assessed, and how to arrange an assessment.
International Qualifications Assessment (IQA) is a full assessment of qualifications gained outside New Zealand. This tells you which New Zealand qualifications are similar to those you have gained. This is done by comparing your qualification with those on the New Zealand Qualifications Framework (NZQF). The IQA will also tell you the level of learning outcome your qualification represents on the NZQF.
