To be a full member of NZBPST you will need to provide evidence that you are formally qualified. A 'qualification' refers to completing a period of study covering all relevant topics associated with that qualification’s curriculum. It indicates that your assessment has been set and approved by an NZQA-accredited training provider or an internationally recognised qualifying body with equivalent standards.

accompanying email stating your name, and that you have applied via the website for membership.
