Skill shortage list notes
Note 1: Overseas qualifications must be comparable to the standard of the New Zealand qualification listed or a qualification listed in the New Zealand Standard Classification of Education.
Note 2: Where post qualification work experience is included as a requirement it applies to all qualifications listed for the occupation (unless otherwise indicated).
Note 3: Qualifications held by applicants claiming points under the Skilled Migrant Category based on the Long Term Skill Shortage List must be recognised under Skilled Migrant Category.
Note 4: Where a Washington Accord accredited undergraduate engineering degree is a requirement, the engineering degree has to be awarded from or after the date the country became a signatory, and must be on the list of accredited programs of the signatory country. To determine if an engineering degree awarded is Washington Accord accredited, please refer to the links from the International Engineering Alliance on their website: http://www.ieagreements.org/Washingt...Accredited.cfm.
Note 5: Where New Zealand registration is specified as a requirement and states "a qualification(s) in this area of absolute skill shortage is/are...", a person only needs to hold the particular New Zealand registration and to have undertaken any necessary work experience in order to meet the requirements of the list. In these cases, qualifications are listed only for the purposes of people applying for work visas under WF4.1.
Above three requirement fulfil by me.
