The New Zealand Qualifications Framework (NZQF) is a system that organizes and categorizes qualifications in New Zealand. It includes a range of qualifications from various education sectors, such as schools, polytechnics, and universities. The framework helps ensure that qualifications are recognized and meet national standards. The NZQF consists of ten levels, with Level 1 being the most basic and Level 10 representing doctoral degrees. Each level indicates the complexity and depth of knowledge required. This structure supports learners in understanding their educational pathways and helps employers recognize the qualifications of potential employees.
