Can You Redo NCEA?

Understanding the New Zealand National Certificate of Educational Achievement (NCEA)

Can You Redo NCEA?

The New Zealand National Certificate of Educational Achievement (NCEA) is a school qualification awarded to students in New Zealand upon meeting specific academic and non-academic criteria. NCEA is a three-level qualification, with Level 1 being the lowest and Level 3 being the highest.

Eligibility for Redoing NCEA

Completing NCEA doesn't automatically grant you the right to redo it. Generally, redoing NCEA is only possible if you meet these criteria:

• You lack the credits or grades required for your chosen pathway.
• You have a valid reason for not achieving the required credits/grades, such as illness or family issues.
• Your school and/or NZQA support your decision to redo NCEA.

Process for Redoing NCEA

If eligible to redo NCEA, contact your school to discuss your options. You can potentially redo the entire qualification or just specific standards.

Redoing the whole qualification requires completing the same number of credits and standards as before. However, some previous credits might be applied towards the new qualification.

If redoing specific standards, you only need to complete those. You won't have to redo the entire qualification.

Benefits of Redoing NCEA

Redoing NCEA offers several benefits, including:

• Improved grades and credits, leading to better opportunities for further education or employment.
• A chance to enhance your knowledge and skills in specific subjects.
• A boost in your confidence and self-esteem.

Challenges of Redoing NCEA

Redoing NCEA also comes with challenges, such as:

• The time and effort required to complete the qualification.
• The potential for stress and anxiety.
• The cost of tuition and other expenses.

Making the Decision to Redo NCEA

The decision to redo NCEA is personal. Carefully consider the benefits and challenges before making a choice. If unsure, talk to your school counselor or NZQA for guidance.
