NZQA (New Zealand Qualifications Authority)

The New Zealand Qualifications Authority (NZQA) is a government agency responsible for ensuring the quality and consistency of education and training in New Zealand. It develops, maintains, and recognizes qualifications, certificates, and credentials to make sure they meet national standards. NZQA also assessment processes like NCEA (National Certificate of Educational Achievement), which is essential for student progression and employment. By overseeing external assessments and evaluations, NZQA helps ensure that learners gain credible, high-quality qualifications that support their education, careers, and lifelong learning opportunities.
