NCEA - information for employers
If you're an employer, you need to understand the secondary qualifications system in New Zealand, so you understand the information school-leavers and other job-applicants put in front of you.
The National Certificate of Educational Achievement (NCEA) is New Zealand's main secondary qualification. Like many other National Certificates on the National Qualifications Framework, NCEA provides the bridge between school, the workplace and life-long learning.
Under the old system, you couldn't tell what part of a subject students were good at. A Record of Achievement now gives you a really clear picture of what they know and can do. So you can match jobs with skills.
Some of these quick links will help you find the information you need:
What is the National Qualifications Framework? - What are National Certificates and National Diplomas?
