The only way I think this would be in play would be if you claimed:
10 points for qualification in skills shortage and
15 points for 6+ years work experience in skills shortage (10 points for 2-5 years)
and that work experience and qualification was tied to holding a level 7 qualification - ie ICT Business Analyst.
If your NZQA comes back as 8, then you are unable to claim these points and they will be taken away. This happened to me. I presumed that because I had a level 8 qualification and because it was higher than a 7 I would be ok, but found out it had to be exactly Level 7.
