    As KA02Assessment.Co.NZ Engineering aspirants who do not have a Washington Accord-accredited qualification, seeking their New Zealand immigration, need to produce a KA02 Report for knowledge assessment. The assessing body, Engineering New Zealand, organises the knowledge assessment framework to give candidates an opportunity to demonstrate their technical knowledge and understanding through work and learning that is equivalent to that of a graduate of a Washington Accord-accredited qualification. For knowledge assessment, candidates are required to go through the six-stage process:

    • Stage 1: Credential check 
    • Stage 2: Preparation 
    • Stage 3: Apply Online 
    • Stage 4: Validation 
    • Stage 5: Evaluation 
    • Stage 6: Decision 

    Through a KA02 report, candidates need to demonstrate equivalent knowledge in eight areas, known as Elements. Such elements can include the knowledge of natural science, mathematics, engineering fundamentals, design process, engineering practice, engineering in society, research-based, and specialist engineering.
