New Zealand

PR & PR Process

New Zealand is an island country in the south western Pacific Ocean. The country geographically comprises two main landmasses—the North Island, and the South Island —and around 600 smaller islands. New Zealand is situated some 1,500 kilometres east of Australia across the Tasman Sea and roughly 1,000 kilometres south of the Pacific island areas of New Caledonia, Fiji, and Tonga.

Because of its remoteness, it was one of the last lands to be settled by humans. New Zealand is a developed country and ranks highly in international comparisons of national performance, such as health, education, economic freedom and quality of life.

Brief Chart describing Qualification Levels

Qualification types

All quality assured qualifications listed on the NZQF fit into a qualification type: a certificate, diploma or degree. Each qualification type is defined by an agreed set of criteria which includes the level at which the qualification is listed and the number of credits required at each level. Below is a list of qualification types with linked definitions.

Levels of qualifications

In New Zealand, qualifications have been divided in ten levels. Levels are based on complexity, with level 1 the least complex and level 10 the most complex. All qualifications are assigned one of the ten levels. It is possible for qualifications to include credit achieved at levels above and below the overall level at which the qualification is listed.
