    Default Nzqa

    My OH Helen finally got through to NZQA last night to find out what had happened to her qualifications seeing as they received them in august and they hadn't even notified us of that. The girl said that there was no problem with her paperwork it had been verified but apparently it now goes to another place to have its result issued which can take up to six weeks!!! whats that all about? has anyone else had this problem?

    i sent my stuff at end of August and am still waiting to hear if it arrived safely - your post put my mind at rest a bit - i emailed them the other day - did you end up having to ring to get through ?? Advice please - and commiserations about the wait - what a "kerfuffle" !!!

    Did you pay to have it fast tracked? It made a big difference with mine and I had no problems with NZQA at all. The biggest delay was in the post, when the result was being sent to me, and that was a UK postal problem rather than an NZ one. I was also given a timeframe of something like 6 weeks, but it was actually nowhere near that long - they're just covering themselves I think. Hope you don't have to wait too long.

    Hi,
    We understood it would be twenty working days so we didn't see the point in fast tracking. It landed on august 29th, we know because we tracked it through the fedex. when we rang the girl dealing with helens qualifications said everything was fine but the result would be issued by somebody else and that could take up to a further six weeks!! If we had known that we definetley would of fast tracked. Don't think we can now though.

    Hi,

    I got my NZQA report 7 weeks after sending my documents to NZ.
    The main problem is that you don“t get any information from the evaluator (which is definetly not the nice girl at the phone) before he will have got all questions answered.
    Next problem: If he has sent questions by email to any institute clarifying your degrees exams aso, you will not be notified. Thus it can last a few months , when he doesn“t get a response.
    If you believe he has sent emails, best strategy is to phone them and ask if they got a question to be sure he will get an answer.

    Regards

    Hi Paul & Helen

    Our assessment took nearly 3 months, dont panic!! this was because they were waiting for confirmation of award from C&G. If it helps we sent off our ITA without it but put in our pre assessment and a letter from NZQA confirming that we had applied (and mentioned this in the covering letter).

    Don't expect them to let you know that it's been sent though, we were still chasing C&G for another letter and when I e-mailed our evaluator to let him know we had sent by registered post, he said our assessment had been completed and posted 2 weeks earlier!!! considering we had spent a fortune in phone calls I was not to impressed!

    It then arrived 4 days after we had submitted ITA!!

    Good luck.

    OCR UNQUOTE! £22 for this! easy money hey

    26th Notice through door from DHL! rang them to deliver it to work address as I thought it was a part for my Fridge!

    I got this email on the 26th :
    QUOTE:
    Dear Karen

    Thank you for your email.
    We have received verification today and the assessment will be completed within 10 working days.

    Yours sincerely

    Qualification Recognition Services UNQUOTE.


    and finally today: 29th DHL delivered a NEW ZEALAND Express envelope!!! good job I signed for it, and that I had loads of pwk from the solicitors regarding house sale with me! I made out that it was some form for the sale of the house.

    I now have all my documents back and a letter which has a very confusing paragraph so read on and your thoughts on it will be appreciated

    Request for verification are sent 3 times over a 10 mth period. NZQA will tell you each time a reminder is sent out to the institiutions.

    well as much as I can see they contacted them and they got a reply and the email from NZQA says 10days??? I'm confused now? but if I get the confirmation of verification next week I will be on here to let you all know!

    Ohhhhhh headache - wheres that bottle of wine I bought
