Hi,
As per the rule, your NZQA outcome has to be "Specific" saying you have (example) Bachelors in Science (Computer Science) to claim bonus points for LTSSL.. if its general, only saying Bachelors in Science at Level 7 won't help you get thsoe extra bonus points. Having said that, since your CO has asked you more details on this subject, take this opportunity and try to provide explaintation that how your degree is related to LTSSL.
Can you tell me which exact degree you have.. like Bachelors in Science.. Majors in _______ .. I recall one discussion on this forum previously where ppl have asked for reassessment from NZQA as they were sure that thier degree assessment should be specific and not general.. Did you specifically ask NZQA to assess the degree for Specific outcome as you need to claim the points.. In my case, I did mention specifically that I need to claim the points so looking for a specific outcome..
You cannot clain for points under Future Growth area as it is tied up with the Job in NZ.
