Well, sending this letter as it seems that the NZQA *might* look at this logically. I cannot have N5 without N5 without having completed N3,2,1 etc as well as completion of high school. Perhaps someone else can benefit from this or give me feedback if theres anything I should change or consider before I courier this off tomorrow morning.
Dear NZQA,
Please find attached my Application for Assessment of International Qualifications, in line with our EOI - ******.
I have included the following documents;
Completed application form, original and copy.
National N5 Certificate Statement, original and copy.
National N4 Certficate Statement, original and copy.
Electrician Trade Certificate, original and copy.
Letter from employer in line with my qualifications and trade certificate, original and copy.
I am aware that I need to include certificates for my high school qualifications, however due to the fact that we are resident in Ireland, and not physically in South Africa, these documents are impossible to get replacements off as these had been lost previously.
I have also completed my National N1, N2 and N3 certificates which allowed me entry to complete the attached N4 and N5 certificates which were also lost at the time of loosing my Standard 9 completion certificate.
At the time of getting re-issued my National N4 and N5 certificates, I had enquired about N1,N2 and N3 and told that these could not be reissued as they had been completed too long ago and that on the basis of the completed N4 and N5, these should not be asked for as they have been 'superceded'.
Richards Bay Minerals, which was my employer at the time of completion of my N4, N5 and Electrical Trade Certificate should have record of my N3 certification as this is the qualification that I would have applied for the apprenticeship at the time. The original letter from Richards Bay Minerals has their contact details for verification / enquiry if required.
I have submitted a job offer to NZIS London on Thursday, the 15th of May 2008 which allows our EOI to be expedited. I have included my credit card details for the required fees and fast tracking as I need to have my ITA submitted to allow a work commencement of August and therefore appreciate your review of my qualification assessment and the included documents that I have.
Best Regards,
