Level 4 NVQ management and level 3 Engineering. HNC professional cookery......looking for a change in career!

My wife is looking to re register as a nurse after many years out of nursing, she was an SEN.

Any help is huge...

NVQs are recognised but you will need to get a preliminary assessment done by the NZQA. A preliminary assessment will cost approx £27. Also, it will probably come back at a higher level than in the UK. I would go for either management or engineering (depends on which type of engineering it is).

I think that as a nurse, you need to get registered by the NZ governing bodym but I'm not 100% on this. I'm sure one of the other guys will be able to help you on this one :hopeso

Hope this helps.
