Recommendation for using CAPL
If there is anyone thinking 'my qualifications I've got in another country don't count for anything here' please think again and visit CAPL for a chat.
When we began our journey of migration I had an Advanced Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling, from Wiltshire College.
Because of the format for education here being of a more 'academic' nature, ie completing papers, my Adv Dip was assessed by NZQA as a level 5 qualification.
Upon contacting CAPL NZ I completed an assessment of my course, covering what we'd learned, not how we learned and my experience in working as a counsellor since qualifying.
Based on this CAPL assessed me as having completed a level 6
They offered me a short course to attain this level 6 status within NZ to gain NZQA recognition, although when we talked further I opted to go for the level 7 degree.
So two weeks ago, I delivered a 4 hour presentation in support of the Bachelors of Social Services, Specialising in Counselling and I got it
CAPL is a process you can complete at home, in your own time and takes your experience of working in your field into account.

As they say, if you've got experience of the school of life then give them a visit!!
