This comment on the New Zealand Nursing Council website indicates that CAP has to be done in New Zealand with an approved establishment/school
The Council strongly recommends that you do not make plans to move to New Zealand until you have completed the registration process (or have been advised to complete a competence assessment programme and secured a placement on the programme, if necessary).
The high demand for places in the competency assessment programmes means that there is a current waiting time of over 12 months to get into most of these programmes. A person who has been informed they need to complete a competency assessment programme may not be able to gain entry into one within the time period of their application.
