NCEA - Learning Recognition Credits

Everyone working towards NCEA this year will have had their learning and assessment programme affected by COVID-19. To recognise this impact of this disruption, some changes have been made to NCEA and University Entrance for 2022.

One of these changes means you will earn Learning Recognition Credits, based on the number of credits you achieve through internal and external assessment.

For every 5 credits you achieve, you will earn 1 additional Learning Recognition Credit – up to a maximum of 10 Learning Recognition credits at NCEA Level 1 or 8 Learning Recognition Credits at NCEA Levels 2 or 3.
