Have you studied or trained overseas and want to understand how your qualifications are recognised in New Zealand? 🎓

Join us for a free, one-hour online workshop hosted by the New Zealand Qualifications Authority (NZQA), in collaboration with Lakes Multicultural Collective (LMC) and supported by QLDC Welcoming Communities.

This session will help you understand how overseas qualifications are evaluated, what the process involves, and how recognition outcomes can support your work, study, visa, or residency pathway in Aotearoa.

Facilitated by Dolly Seow-Ganesan, Manager for Qualifications Recognition Services at NZQA, this session will include clear explanations, examples, and a live Q&A.

What you’ll learn:

✅ How overseas qualifications are recognised in New Zealand

✅ What documents are needed and how the evaluation process works

✅ When recognition is required (and who uses it)

✅ How recognition affects job applications, further study, and visa pathways

✅ What to do if you have incomplete records or trade experience

✅ Where to find multilingual support and additional resources

Understanding how your qualifications are recognised in Aotearoa can open new doors — from improving your job opportunities to helping you meet visa or residency requirements. This session will give you practical tools and confidence to take your next step with clarity.

There will also be a live Q&A, so you can ask questions directly and get guidance for your personal situation.
