NQF qualification codes

NQF qualification codes are used to specify the highest secondary school attainment for school leavers enrolled in the NCEA/National Qualifications Framework (NQF). This is used to measure the academic performance of students in year 9 and above when they leave school.

The field is mandatory for secondary aged students (student type is RE, FF, TPRE or TPREOM) and Adult (student type is AD, TPAD, TPRAE, RA or TPRAOM) students who are leaving the NZ schooling sector and where Reason is L, E, O, X or C.
