We have received significant interest in the Zero fee Teaching International Qualifications Assessment (IQA) initiative.
An additional 1200 Zero fee IQAs were announced in October 2023, with up to 200 applications able to be accepted per month.
On 14 September 2022 the Government announced that teachers who meet eligibility criteria could apply to have their overseas teaching qualifications evaluated by NZQA free of charge.
