requirement to obtain IQA from NZQA for qualification in LQEA

[y_square2]

Hi all, i have received the ITA and noted a statement below:

Quote "If your qualification is on the LQEA then you can either obtain an IQA from NZQA which states that your qualification is specifically recognised by NZQA as being comparable to one of the qualifications listed above or you can obtain a supporting letter from IPENZ. Please note the fact that your qualification is listed on the LQEA does not in itself allow you to meet the LTSSL requirements for an Engineer" unquote

i was a little confused as what i understand is when our qualification is in LQEA, we are not required to obtain IQA from NZQA. But in order for me to claim the bonus point under LTSSL, i need to get the IQA. Appreciate your help.
