How many credits do you need to pass NCEA level 1 science?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

How do you mean? You don't pass subject by subject.. In total you must have 80 NCEA level 2 or higher credits to pass the year. English is the only subject in which you need a specific amount of credits (8, but speeches don't count towards this) to gain University Entrance, which are the literary credits, 4 reading and 4 writing. In level 1 however, 8 math credits are needed to gain UE.

What syllabus NCEA or Cambridge is better for the future of children?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Since NCEA is the national educational framework in New Zealand, it has a vast amount of resources, books and support services. Teachers are highly familiar with NCEA methods of teaching and you will learn everything you need to for the end of year examinations.

On the other hand, Cambridge is not the primary model of education in New Zealand. As a result, teachers will be less able to support students and less resources are available for students.

Which is the best high school in Auckland?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I went to Tirimoana Primary in Te Atatu, which is still an excellent school... The classes are smallish compared to other schools as it's relatively still unknown. Depending on where you live, Green Bay Primary is also a very excellent school, despite its laid-back reputation, my sister went there and we found it worked. Kaurilands is also good.

I would stay clear of Kelston, Konini, Arahoe, Henderson, Prospect and Sunnyvale.

Yes that answer is right but i say woodlands park is quite good.

And yes stay clear of kelston konini and all those other schools BUT green bay high school isn't that good, ive read that in a magazine based on the best and worst schools in Auckland, i also recommed Marist it is a cathlic school.

I don't see what's wrong with kelston, Konini and all the other schools. They are normal like all the other schools.

How do you become a pilot in New Zealand?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The requirements to become a pilot in New Zealand depend on what sort of pilot you want to be. There are four licences:

* Recreational Pilot Licence (RPL)- Aeroplane, a restricted PPL aimed at older pilots who no longer meet the medical requirements of a PPL; this also allows a pilot to fly microlights and other light aircraft including gliders, ect

* Private Pilot Licence (PPL)- Aeroplane, Glider,Helicopter, which allows recreational flying; * Commercial Pilot Licence (CPL)- Aeroplane, Balloon, Glider,Helicopter, which allows you to be paid for flying;

* Airline Transport Pilot Licence (ATPL) - Aeroplane, Helicopter which would allow you to fly for a commercial airline. This allows you to become pilot-in-command of an aircraft which requires more than one pilot.

There are detailed requirements for the RPL, PPL,CPL and ATPL. These are given on the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) website. See the related link below. A Private Pilot may not be paid or rewarded to fly. You can start learning to fly an aircraft at any age but cannot fly solo until you are 16 years old. To gain a PPL you must complete several steps including practical flying and written examinations. The first thing you must hold is a Class 2 Medical Examination to prove you are fit to fly. These doctors are listed on the CAA website, or find them at your local aero club. A PPL requires a minimum of 50 hours of flying. You must log every flight in your pilot logbook. You may hold a PPL at 17 years old. Commercial Pilots can be paid to fly, and make a career as a pilot. They may fly as pilot-in-command (Captain) on an aircraft with only one pilot, or as co-pilot (first officer) on a multi-crew aircraft. You must first gain a New Zealand Class 1 Medical Examination. To be a CP you must have completed a minimum of 200 hours of flying before you are eligible to sit your flight test. However many New Zealand pilots have about 215 to 230 hours of flying before they sit the test. To hold a CPL you must not be younger than 18 years old. To apply for an ATPL you must be at least 21 years old, hold a current instrument rating, and have 1500 hours of TotaL flight time in a airplane, or 1000 hours in a helicopter. There are also requirements for instrument time, (meaning time flying while navigating using instruments), time as the pilot in command of the aircraft, time flying at night and time flying cross country. See the information on ratings below. You must also pass seven written examinations and a flight test with a flight test with a flight examiner. Ratings are for the type of aircraft to be flown, such as fixed wing, helicopter, multiengine, and for the type of flying, such as aerobatic, night, instrument and instructing. Ratings are important if you want to expand your employment options. They include: * aircraft type rating; * instrument rating - Aeroplane, Helicopter; * aerobatic flight rating; * glider tow rating; * parachute drop rating; * agricultural rating Grade 1 and 2 - Aeroplane, Helicopter. These allow you to become a spray pilot; * pilot chemical rating

* flight instructor rating category A, B, C, D, and E - Aeroplane,Helicopter; * flight examiner rating - Airline, General aviation;

There are ongoing checks to make sure you are flying to the required standard for each rating and licence. It costs at least $8,000 - $10,000 to train to become a Private Pilot alone, which doesn't allow you to make a career or income out of flying. If you just want to fly for fun, go for the PPL. If you want to make money flying smaller aircraft, go for the CPL. If you are aiming higher, go for the ATPL. To become an Airline Transport Pilot is costly, but the pay in return can be satisfying. You don't have to go all the way straight away. You can become a CPL holder at 19 years old, then when you have some more money go for the ATPL. You can acheive the required hours for this while making moneyas a CPL. For more information, see the link below, or you could get the book "How to Be a Pilot" published by the CAA. That is where some of this information came from. It is really handy, and explains everything and every license. Some aero clubs sell them. Another source of information is your local aero club.

If you are not sure whether you do want to become a pilot, go for a trial flight.
