The National Certificate of Educational Achievement (NCEA)

Students can work towards gaining credits in Achievement Standards and Unit Standards for NCEA certificates. Each course assesses against standards and each subject usually offers between 18 and 24 credits. Each subject Information Booklet details which Standards are assessed, together with their credit value.

There are two NCEA qualifications students work towards at Wellington East Girls College - Level 2 and Level 3. 

  • NCEA Level 2 Requirements: 60 credits at Level 2 or above; plus the Literacy and Numeracy co-requisite (20 credits).
  • NCEA Level 3 Requirements: 60 credits at Level 3 or above; plus the Literacy and Numeracy co-requisite (20 credits).

Credits can come from both Achievement Standards and Unit Standards. 

In addition to gaining the credits towards the NCEA, each Achievement Standard can be gained at three levels of success: Achieved, Merit or Excellence. 

NCEA certificates can be gained with Merit or Excellence endorsements.
