What level of education do I need to apply?
Some trades simply require three years of secondary school, for example years 9 – 11 or years 11 – 13, rather than formal qualifications. These trades will still look at your record of learning to determine if you will be able to successfully complete the training. Other trades require a higher level of education, such as NCEA level 2 or above. The minimum criteria for each trade can be found on the trade pages on this website.

A board of Senior NZDF Medical Officers will review this application at their next medical reconsideration meeting held four times per year. If this application is denied you may be unable to reapply, or be given a stand-down period before you can reapply.
