City and Guilds Diploma in Nursing
My girlfriend has the above and we are woundering if it counts as a recognised basic qual.
We are going to send her stuff off to NZQA if its worth it, is it? Anyone out there in the same boat? Will her diploma be recognised? it will mean the difference between yea or nay.

Is it worth using her nursing stuff to make her the principle applicant, or should she just go thru an agency and get us in that way?

Both of us have flitted in and out of our qualification fields and I'm a bit lost as to what work experience we're supposed to put down. I was in engineering upto 4 years ago, so I have 10yrs WE in that field, I'm now a cough cough policeman :eek and have 4 yrs WE in that.

Sarah has recently gone back to nursing after having 6yrs out as a restuarant manager. HELP

From what I hear, NZ like to employ excops from the uk. It may be worth looking closer at that option.

Have already done that, am in a catch 22 situation in that respect "oh yeah, we'd love to have you, but you need to get PR 1st".
A work permit isn't enough if Sarah gets work thru an agency, I'd also only get a WP.
