Is it correct that you have to send in your original qualifications not copies.

Absolutely. Originals only but they do send back by DHL. Bit frightening sending them half way around the world but a necessary evil. You could always take a copy first and get them certified by a solicitor although we didn't. Good Luck

HI, I've replied to your PM.

We sent in the originals of everything, even our marriage certificate. We also photocopied everything and put the photocopies at the back of all the originals.

It seems to have paid off 'cause we've had an e-mail just 2wks after sending the documents to NZQA to say the qualification has been assessed and they are returning everything to us shortly.

Just pray now we still have the level 7 we were pre-assessed as having.

hi...
just want ask to Myrkk, should we send our marriage certificate even there is no change of names ? because as I know, that NZQA require marriage certificate if there is change of our names

thank you in advance

[Myrkk]

Unless you've kept your maiden name and your hubbie has kept his erm.....pre-married name, knightly name? I would say yes. Both my hubbie and I changed our names after getting married so we worked on the premise that it definately needed to go in.

I'm in South Africa and was extremely nervous about sending all my wifes degrees and other docs. Short story is it was couriered back in short order and everything is fine. We did use DHL international, though - don't trust the SA Post office that much!

[Myrkk]

We used the GPO but sent it all International Signed For.........cost £11.36 would have been £20 odds if we'd done it as a letter as opposed to a small packet though.

Kags1694 can i ask did you do your pre assesment on www.nzqa.govt.nz first if so what did they assess your oh qualifications at. I'm asking cause I'm in the same situation as you, I just rang immigration about my certificates and told me to ring nzqa i did that and they told me to do a pre assessment 1st which cost $75 before commiting to the full asessment which cost $450
