New Zealand Qualifications Authority (NZQA)

The New Zealand Qualifications Authority (NZQA) is the government agency responsible for ensuring that high-quality education standards are maintained across New Zealand’s schools, further education institutions, and training providers. It administers and accredits national qualifications, such as NCEA, and oversees the assessment and credentialing processes to ensure students gain recognized and credible credentials. NZQA also monitors the quality of education providers and promotes continuous improvement, aiming to prepare students with skills and knowledge that meet both national and international standards.
