LEVEL 1 NCEA

National Certificate of Educational Achievement (NCEA) is the main secondary school qualification in New Zealand. Level 1 NCEA is normally for Year 11 students (Form 5 under the old system).

When a student achieves a standard, they gain a number of credits. At Level 1 they must obtain 80 credits to gain an NCEA Level 1 certificate. This must include 10 literacy and 10 numeracy credits.

Students are recognised for high achievement at each level by gaining NCEA with Merit or NCEA with Excellence. High achievement in a course is also recognised. For more information, read about Endorsements.
