Not exactly sure what you're asking for help on? If you have some specific questions, then please post them. If you're asking if agents are a good option, generally no, unless you're not confident of doing the job youreself.

Hi Danis,

Post the questions you get stuck on, and we'll answer them! Well, we'll try to anyway :icon_biggrin:

Danis,

I'm not surprised you are confused. Some parts of the form contradict themselves :icon_confused:

The EOI can be saved online, so you can complete the bits you are comfortable with and come back to other questions later. I suggest you save your money, and ask for help on specific questions. It all comes together eventually, it took us a month to fill in bit by bit ::):

Dear all,

sorry I didn't give specific question, I am still waiting pre-assessment result from NZQA.

I a little bit confuse about Qualification and Recognised Work Experience,

[b:b744f21663]for qualification full assessment, can I assess this after I submit EOI ?

[quote:b744f21663]G3. Please indicate the total number of years of recognised work experience. Include any New Zealand work experience indicated in G2.

[b:b744f21663]is this my work experience in my country + new zealand work experience ?[/b:b744f21663]

[quote:b744f21663]G4. Please indicate the total number of years of work experience in an identified future growth area. You need to note that work experience......

[quote:b744f21663]G6. Please indicate the total number of years work experience in an area of absolute skills shortage.
[/quote:b744f21663]

[b:b744f21663]Can you explain to me about my last 2 question (G4 and G6)? i tried to fill this question and got 35 points[/b:b744f21663]

I assume my qualification is level 7, and totaly I got 130 points with minimum english requirement, dont have IELTS Certificate but I am still take intensive english course.

In reply,

1. Yes, you can submit the NZQA assessment after you have submitted the EOI, but you need to have the results of the preliminary assessment [i:802555ce1e]before [/i:802555ce1e]the EOI is submitted.

2. Yes. Include any recognised work experience. But you'll only gain points if it is from a "comparable labour market". A comparable labour market is:

3. You can only claim points for a future growth area if you have a job offer in that area. So, any experience in your own country or NZ for that matter will only count if you have a job offer.

4. An area of abolute skills shortage is any occupation on the Long Term Skills Shortage List (previously the Priority Occupations List). If you have experience in this area in a comparable labour market, you can claim points for it.

An area of absolute skills shortage is explained here:

http://glossary.immigration.govt.nz/...lsshortage.htm

You can't assume your qualification will be assessed at level 7 - you need the preliminary assessment - and need to give an NZQA reference number on your EOI.

If you are the principal applicant, you will need an IELTS certificate. Pre-purchase of tuition is only applicable to secondary applicants.

Hope that helps

Good Luck
