This review was undertaken to independently assess the usability of the New Zealand Qualifications Framework (NZQF) for learners. It was conducted in September-October 2013 and involved focus groups with learners engaged in qualifications at levels 1-6 and a small number of stakeholder interviews. The NZQA role as a provider of reliable, clear and credible information on qualifications is confirmed through this review. Learners rated the information they looked at on qualifications on the NZQF highly in terms of understanding the information and its usefulness. Learners appreciated: that the qualifications they looked at were current; that information on who provides the qualification was available; and that information on the education and employment pathways will be available in the future as new qualification information is added. Knowledge levels amongst learners however are low about the qualifications system, about qualifications in general and the information that is available on the NZQF.
