Welcome to CAPABLE NZ

Have you learned from the school of life?
Capable NZ enables you to gain a nationally-recognised qualification without going back to the classroom.

It works by affirming and giving you credit for what you already know and can do, and helping you achieve the extra knowledge you need. Our world-leading Assessment of Prior Learning (APL) service measures your knowledge and skills against formal qualifications, including certificates, diplomas and degrees. The process requires far less investment of time and money, so it’s especially valuable for those who are currently employed. You may discover you are well on the way to having the qualification you desire and deserve – and we will help you get there!
