AdmiNZ’s micro-credentials are compact, standalone awards that validate your skills and knowledge, aligning with the New Zealand Qualifications Authority (NZQA) for level and credit equivalency on the NZQCF.

For example, the Administration Skills (Mirco-credential) has been assessed as being at Level 5 on the NZQCF and has a credit value of 20 credits.

Although, micro-credentials are stand-alone awards, our micro-credentials can be combined to make up the AdmiNZ Certificate (60 Credits) or the AdmiNZ Diploma (120 Credits).

These credentials serve as a testament to your learning and are a perfect fit for those aiming to advance their study or career to new heights. They recognise learners’ skills, experience or knowledge, while meeting demand from employers, industry and communities. They will be assessed in your workplace by an AdmiNZ workplace assessor either in-person or by portfolio submission, using evidence from your workplace e.g. meeting organisation.

The AdmiNZ micro-credentials have been developed in response to an identified lack of relevant accessible qualifications which are achievable, affordable, and can be assessed totally in the workplace in Aotearoa New Zealand at present.

The AdmiNZ micro-credentials have been developed with the Global Skills Matrix (GSM) levels and skills in mind. The AdmiNZ micro-credentials fit at Level 4 of the GSM and contribute a sound background for those who might wish to further their study and continue to a Level 5 role (Chief of Staff).
