In the process of working through ITA:


- I am from the UK

- One of my qualifications (BTEC) needs an NZQA Full Assessment (Preassessment indicates Level 4). This is to increase my work experience within a specific field of work.

- However it seems NZQA wants every other certificate for every other qualification (even if they are already a recognised qualification) and all work experience.

- This seems excessive and also I am concerned that there is no indication on the form of which qualification (the aforementioned BTEC) is the one that needs assessing.

Have I got the write form? Do I need to include my entire life history just for one BTEC Certificate? Please help, running out of time.

I can only answer from the experience of getting teaching quals assessed...

Basically, yes. Particularly if it's worth lots of points!
I found (as did my brother) that if they ask for it, send it-don't argue, just do it. NZQA are very black and white-absolutely no shades of grey, but if you follow their instructions to the letter, quite amenable. If you supply all the paperwork they ask for, no worries for a BTEC.
In order to assess your BTEC, I imagine they want to know how what level of education you had in order to start it.

Good luck

I concur with the above; send them as much as you can get hold of. This is probably the most important part of your immigration process, so it is worth going that extra mile, if only to appease the NZQA.
