    Question Bonus Points for LVL 7 Diploma

    Hello everybody!

    A really quick one for you guys.

    Can I claim bonus points for a LVL 7 NZ Diploma?

    "1 year of full-time study in New Zealand completing a recognised post-graduate New Zealand qualification"

    The "post-graduate" thing is what makes me doubt. In the past 2 years I completed two NZ Diplomas, first a LVL 5 and then a LVL 7, but I have no Bachelor Degree or anything alike, just those 2 Diplomas.

    Am I good to go for those 10 bonus points? Looks like I should, according to this: http://www.nzqa.govt.nz/studying-in-...duate-diploma/

    Notice, what follows is just my thinking, not anything official.

    I believe your qualification is eligible for the points. That sentence is not saying, 'This would be a diploma you studied for and were granted after being a graduate,' since 'post-graduate diploma' is simply the name of that kind of qualification.

    Let's see if there is someone out there who has checked this by submitting their application. That's the only way to find out how INZ will deal with it.

    Thanks!

    Yeah, I've done an extensive search before posting but couldn't find anything related.

    According to the NZQA criteria, it should be good.
