Qualifications information

The Service Level Agreement (SLA) we have with your school outlines your responsibilities for entering "secondary dual" students for NCEA. It is important for Principals, Principal’s Nominees and Coordinators of Te Kura dual-enrolled students to have copies of this document and be thoroughly familiar with its contents.

Please read the Principal's Nominee Handbook for important information about managing entries for qualifications.

The list of achievement and unit standards we offer identifies all standards that could possibly be assessed for each course. This list is provided to help Principal’s Nominees make correct NCEA entries.

Internal assessment

  • Please DO NOT enter indicative internally assessed entries as many students may not have had an adequate opportunity to achieve all the internal standards in the course.
  • Results for internally assessed standards will be posted to your Principal's Nominee near the end of each term.
  • These internally assessed results must then be entered on your school management system and submitted to NZQA, with the correct version number and using our provider code, 498.

External assessment

  • You will need to enter the appropriate externally assessed standards onto your management system.
  • The Te Kura Coordinator in your school should help students identify which externally assessed standards they wish to enter and encourage them to discuss the selection with their Te Kura subject teacher.
  • Your Principal’s Nominee must be informed about the selection of externals so entries can be made at the appropriate time.
  • All entries for external assessments must be submitted to NZQA with our provider code, 498.
