[color=#333366]english language testing policy changed

"the council has changed its policy on english language testing for overseas applicantsfor new zealand registration with effect from 1 august 2008.

the council has determined that while a pass of a minimum of seven in each band is still required, this no longer needs to be achieved in a single sitting of the ielts test but can be gained over a succession of tests. applicants may now obtain a score lower than seven in one band and resit ielts to gain a seven in the same band at another time. the total of seven in each band must be achieved within 12 months of first sitting the test.

also, [color=#333366]all overseas applicants for new zealand registration whose applications are received on or after [color=#333366]1 january 2009, including applicants from english speaking countries, will be required to successfully complete an english language assessment to be registered in new zealand, except for australian applicants applying under ttmr legislation.
