Are you finding hard to understand the NZ education system?

Yes, we hear you! We understand that you deal with so many institutions in so many different countries and keeping up with the information overload can be really difficult. So, we have developed a very easy-to-understand chart showing the main differences between certificates, diplomas and degrees and the different levels of qualifications available in New Zealand But the best of all: it is all translated into your own language!!!

You will find the PDF files on our website, but we have also added them here for your convenience. Spread the new to all your counsellors know.

Arabic (PDF) Chinese (PDF) Indonesian (PDF) Korean (PDF) Portuguese (PDF) Spanish (PDF) Vietnamese (PDF)
If you have difficulties viewing these files, you can download Adobe Reader for free.

Skills Shortage in New Zealand

Do your students ask you which areas of study are more likely to lead to jobs in New Zealand? And you find hard to give them a proper answer? Make the New Zealand skill shortage list work for you!

We know that Immigration New Zealand uses the Long Term Skill Shortage List (LTSSL) in relation to both temporary work policy and residence policy. So, it might be useful for agents to refer to this list in order to better assist students who have a long term plan to work and live in New Zealand after finishing their studies.

This was extracted from Immigration New Zealand website: "If you come to work in New Zealand based on meeting the LTSSL requirements, you may be eligible for residence through our Work to Residence (Long Term Skill Shortage List) policy, or the Skilled Migrant Category".

Have a look at Immigration NZ's Essential Skills in Demand Lists and the Long Term Skill Shortage List (PDF).
