A New Zealand employer could hire the student as a forklift operator if the employer was satisfied with the student's previous forklift training and experience. It is more likely, however, that the New Zealand employer would require, as a minimum, a certificate issued by a New Zealand registered forklift instructor/examiner indicating the student had passed the forklift theoretical portion and the forklift operating portion of a New Zealand forklift exam. Many large New Zealand employers have their own in-house registered instructors/examiners.
