Engineering Technician education is accredited against an internationally recognised benchmark defined by the Dublin Accord.
In New Zealand, Vocational Engineering Education New Zealand (VEE.NZ) oversees the New Zealand Diploma in Engineering (NZDE). This two-year qualification allows you to specialise in Civil, Electrical, Electronic, Mechanical and Fire Engineering.
You can explore accredited NZDE programmes below, listed by institution and specialisation. If you graduate from one of these accredited programmes within the specified years, your qualification is automatically recognised.
You’ll also find equivalent programmes offered by Fiji National University (FNU) in Suva. These programmes meet the same Dublin Accord standards and are accredited by Engineering New Zealand, so your qualification is recognised in New Zealand in the same way as a NZDE graduate.
