Results

NZQA provides a number of ways in which current and previous learners can access their results, for either national qualifications or standards.

When a learner enrols in a programme that leads to credits for standards and national qualifications, they are given a unique identification number called a National Student Number (NSN). All standards and national qualifications gained by a student throughout their life are recorded against their NSN.

If you have a National Student Number (NSN) you can use the Learner Login to see all standards and national qualifications you have achieved.

New Zealand Record of Achievement

A New Zealand Record of Achievement (NZROA) is an official transcript of all the New Zealand qualifications and standards that a person has achieved. For more information see Record of Achievement.
