Do you apply to NZQA for me?+
We prepare and submit the application with you. You approve it and pay NZQA's fee directly, so you always stay in control of your own application.
Can you speed up NZQA?+
No one can. What we can do is make sure your file is complete first time, because NZQA's clock only starts when it is.
What if I have more than one qualification?+
NZQA assesses each qualification separately. We help you decide which ones are worth assessing for your plans.
Can you guarantee a level?+
No. NZQA decides based on your qualification and evidence. We help you present your evidence clearly.
