NCEA is the qualification most students study for at secondary school in Aotearoa.

The subjects you choose for NCEA will help you get ready for future study or training.

If you're not sure which subjects to choose talk to your teacher or school career adviser.

Choosing NCEA subjects

If you’re out of school and don’t have NCEA you may need to upskill before you study or train.

You can get NCEA credits or complete a foundation or bridging qualification.

Check the education provider’s website to find out what you need to do.

Upskilling after you leave school

If you’re 20 or older you may qualify for special admission or adult entry if you don’t have NCEA. An education provider may consider your previous study or work experience and motivation. This type of entry depends on your individual situation.

Check the education provider’s website for more information.

Some study or training programmes have extra entry requirements like completing specific NCEA subjects, supplying a portfolio, or doing an interview.

Check the education provider’s website for extra requirements.
