NZCAA Exam credits to Aus?

[kiwiscanfly15]

greetings Ppruners, just a question i was asked today that i didn't know the answer for, and after a quick search on google im still not 100% clear on the answer.
if someone was to pass all 3 I.R exams in N.Z but not get the I.R, can those exams transfer to Australia, or would you have to sit the irex exam in Aus. (rendering NZ credits useless.)
thank you in advance

My apologies, just found this..

"CAA NZ Examinations
Theory examination credits obtained in New Zealand without the equivalent flight crew qualification being issued are not transferable under any circumstances (ie. NZ exam credits are not recognised in isolation). That means, person who has a New Zealand PPL and the CPL examination credits would not be entitled to registration."


wow the CASA website is approx 200 times better than the CAA's

Its not that they're useless - they're very useful if you finish off your instrument rating in New Zealand.

But the exams are only part of the rating - and you cant transfer a partially completed qualification.
