Click Edit next to an incomplete application to resume working on it. Any sections you have completed will be saved and you can resume working on it again later.
You can Withdraw your application at any point during the assessment process, up to the point where NZQA has reached an outcome and communicated this to you. Once an outcome has been reached, your application will shift to the Completed Applications table.
Return to this page in future to track the status of your application during the assessment process.
About the application process
There are restrictions on the number and types of characters that can be used when submitting applications online. There should be less than 1,000 characters per box. Avoid bullet points and using commas, hyphens, slashes, semi-colons, colons, brackets etc, although fullstops are acceptable.
When you submit your application, you will receive an auto generated email quoting an NZQA reference number. Use this number if you need to email or speak to a member of staff about your application.
You will be invoiced on a regular basis for ongoing work on your application at a rate of $190 per hour plus GST.
Please direct any queries about your application to our client services team. Remember to include the NZQA reference number on all correspondence.
