The three Services are all independently registered with the New Zealand Qualifications Authority as Government Training Establishments, and a number of the NZDF training establishments are accredited to deliver and assess against unit standards on the National Qualifications Framework (NQF). Where possible, NZDF personnel can gain external recognition for training where the NZDF training encompasses unit standards or qualifications on the NQF. NZDF personnel are also actively involved with Industry Training Organisations assisting with writing unit standards and the development of national qualifications.
