Qualifications and standards

Trade Certificates

In the past, NZQA administered many trade and advanced trade certificate qualifications. These have been progressively phased out and replaced by National Certificates and Diplomas. Certified statements in relation to these older qualifications are available from NZQA.

Obtain a Certified Statement of your Trade Certificate or Advanced Trade Certificate

The search and issue fee per level is $20.40 or $51.10 for all 3 levels. Additional copies are available for $5.10.
