Preparing for NZQA Reporting

The NZQA (New Zealand Qualifications Authority) framework consists of fields, subfields, and domains. The codes identify a particular unit standard within the overall framework. You associate milestones with a unit standard using these codes.

This section discusses how to:

  • Define NQF fields, subfields, and domains.

  • Define unit standards.

  • Link NQF codes to milestones.
