    Question NZQA for SilverFern

    Finally, this night I managed to apply for SilverFern visa! Money has been deducted, the letter has been received.
    However, I'm not sure about NZQA assessment.

    I've got a "Specialist Diploma" in Engineering, which I think should be equal to "A Bachelor of Engineering with Honours
    (NZQF Level 8)" , but I've worked as a Systems Administrator for more than 3 years, and I want to work in that occupation in future.

    Should I think now about LTSSL and other things, and do I need to provide any work experience for NZQA in order my qualification to be accessed?
    Or I just can send my diploma without any work experience mentioned and get through SilverFern visa process smoothly?

    Thanks all! I've been reading this forum since 2013

    See the fact sheet here. It gives all the criteria. https://www.immigration.govt.nz/new-...arch-work-visa

    Sorry, I was clearly overreacting because I had had a sleepless night, clicking on one button, trying to apply for a Silver Fern visa.

    So, answering myself, NZQA assessment has nothing to do with job experience (except trade qualification, as described). It's just a qualification assessment.
    Just got my diploma assessed in 3 weeks, got level 8 for my Specialist Diploma (5 years of study).
