Question:
Can I be grandfathered from the NZ ASTA/ANZSSA Exam to the ANZSSA CSS?
Answer:
Yes, conditional grandfathering from NZ ASTA/ANZSSA Exam to ANZSSA CSS is offered, for a limited time.
The ANZSSA Certification Exam has been developed based on the previous ANZSSA NZ exam which was revised and updated to align with both Australian and New Zealand local requirements. The ANZSSA Certification Exam is replacing the previous ANZSSA NZ exam, hence the provision for grandfathering (for a limited time) for those already awarded the ANZSSA NZ credential and who hold a current NZ practicing certificate.
All ANZSSA CSS holders (including those grandfathered) will be required to meet re-certification requirements in due course.
