Results

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

When a student 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 do not yet have an NSN, you will need to complete and send in a NZQA registration form (DOC, 410KB).

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

Record of Achievement (ROA)

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

Award of National Certificates and National Diplomas

When a learner has completed a National Certificate or National Diploma, they (or their provider) should notify the Authority in writing so their qualification can be included on their Record of Achievement.
