NZQA is accountable for:

  • managing the New Zealand Qualifications Framework,
  • administering the secondary school assessment system,
  • independent quality assurance of non-university education providers,
  • qualifications recognition,
  • standard setting for some specified unit standards, and
  • the development of qualifications in specific fields


The New Zealand Qualifications Authority (NZQA) has evaluated the Certified Holistic and Performance Nutritionist (Micro-credential) delivered by Holistic Performance Limited and has assessed it to be equivalent to 35 credits (350 notional learning hours) at Level 6 on the New Zealand Qualifications Framework (NZQF)

Prospective students, please note:

Anyone can enter the HPN program and complete the course. However, to become a Certified Holistic and Performance Nutritionist, you will have to also have completed the HPI Nutrition Coaching program which makes up the foundation for this more advanced program.
If you do not have this, please consider completing the Nutrition Coach course first.
