About NZIM National

If you have any concern or issue or question about NZIM or management matters in New Zealand, then contact the staff at NZIM National. If we can't answer your concern, then it is likely we can put you in touch with people who can. Though a great deal of our time involves administering qualifications offered by secondary and tertiary providers and registering student results, as you see below we have a wide set of responsibilities.

For additional information about NZIM please visit our About Us page which inclues a downloadable copy of our Annual Report.
