Engineering Achieves International Accreditation
Graduates from WelTec’s School of Engineering will now have their qualifications officially recognised globally.
WelTec has been formally recognised by an independent panel convened by the Institution of Professional Engineers New Zealand (IPENZ) – New Zealand’s professional body for engineers –as having qualifications that meet international standards. The NZ Diploma in Engineering and the Bachelor of Engineering Technology degree have been successfully recognised as meeting the requirements of two benchmark international accords. WelTec’s Engineering Degree has been accepted for recognition within the Sydney Accord and the Engineering Diploma within the Dublin Accord.
Achieving this world class status means our engineering degree qualification and our graduates are recognised by nine individual member countries who are party to the Sydney Accord and our diploma is recognised by seven member countries that have joined the Dublin Accord. Graduates will now have their WelTec qualifications recognised around the world which really enhances the mobility of our alumni. These Accords are the gold standard test for technologist and technician engineering qualifications and this recognition is a credit to all WelTec staff involved in their delivery.
