hi rdj,

My suggestion is to use the qualification category which you are most comfortable with.
If your qualification is in Engineering, and you are claiming additional points in LTSSL.
The likelihood is they will require letter from IPENZ.

The KA02 form IPENZ is a lengthy process, and you would need to relate your work experiences in detailed to your college qualification.

Thanks Hernani, If im going for the ITC as Data Administrator, will it require IPENZ?

rdj,

The evaluation is more towards your engineering degree rather than what you are/will be doing. As long as it's an engineering degree, I think they will ask you to go for IPENZ. It happened to me when I received my IQA outcome yesterday. Very disappointed but still need to do it...
