NZQF (New Zealand Qualifications Framework)

The New Zealand Qualifications Framework (NZQF) is a structured system that categorizes and organizes all qualifications in New Zealand, from school certificates to university degrees and vocational training. It consists of ten levels, with Level 1 being the most basic (like NCEA Level 1) and Level 10 being the highest (like a doctoral degree). The NZQF ensures that qualifications are recognized and understood both nationally and internationally, helping learners, employers, and educational institutions to navigate the variety of available credentials and ensure quality in education and training.
