New Zealand’s National Qualifications Framework

NCEA (National Certificate of Educational Achievement) is New Zealand's national qualification for senior
secondary students. NCEA is part of the National Qualifications Framework (NQF).
NCEA level 1 replaced School Certificate in 2002. Level 2 was introduced in 2003 and level 3 in 2004,
replacing University Bursaries. NCEA provides the pathway to tertiary education and workplace training.

Today secondary schools can also offer a wide range of specialised National Certificates
that may be a starting point for further study or may simply broaden general education.
Senior students at Sacred Heart Girls’ College are offered both achievement and
competency based unit standards on the NQF.
