Hi,
I was/am in the same boat. I have been working toward my degree for a while, but i need to start the credits for my major now. I emailed NZQA and asked which major i should go for in order to be accepted under the "information technology profssionals" category. The skill shortage list says....
"Degree-level qualification (Level 7) majoring in computer science, information science or information technology"
I wanted a degree in buisness information technology, which i would figure since it is almost completey IT credits that they would recognize it... also, it is worth mentioning that the degree is from a school that is accredited/recognized by NZQA. It was too late to wait for their response, so i just ended up pursuing a "computer information systems" degree since it sounded like they would like that more. After the fact, i got an email back from them that said something like "they arent in a position to influence my degree path."
Hopefully you get a favorable response from them... good luck
Carl
