关于你的技能工作担保加分部分，如果你没有申请紧缺加分，那么就可以无需去额外满足LTSSL中的附加要求，只需要满足ANZSCO中的要求即可。也就是关于学历部分的要求是：
Most occupations in this unit group have a level of skill commensurate with a bachelor degree or higher qualification. At least five years of relevant experience and/or relevant vendor certification may substitute for the formal qualification. In some instances relevant experience and/or on-the-job training may be required in addition to the formal qualification (ANZSCO Skill Level 1).
'a bachelor degree or higher qualification.'显然，按移民局的学历评级表，硕士学位通常是要高于学士学位的，理论上你是可以符合相关学历要求的，不需要用工作经验兑换相应学历要求。但这个地方需要注意的是，由于部分国家，部分情况的硕士学历是会被要求NZQA认证的，而且也并不意味着所有的硕士学位，在NZQA评估后，可以被认为是学历等级高于学士学位。
这也就是为什么LTSSL中要求是bachelor degree，就必须是学士学位，原则上没商量余地，就算硕士博士，一定程度主要也是出于上面的这个原因。特别是LTSSL的特殊性，因为LTSSL是根据雇主和劳动力市场情况来制定的学历要求，雇主在招这个职位时，普遍要求是学士学位，因为雇主认为本科并已取得学位的人才，才是自己需要的，GD或硕士博士自己并不需要。LTSSL不是移民局单方面制订的，而是雇主与工作局等多部门联合调查商议后制定的。这就好比厨师的紧缺，并不是说你是个厨师，你就是紧缺人才了，紧缺的是"A minimum of five years’ combined experience in establishments offering a la carte/banqueting or commercial catering, with a minimum of two years at Chef de Partie (Section Leader level or higher)"，有经验的厨师才是紧缺人才，没经验就不是紧缺人才。
1. The minimum entry qualification for a Master’s Degree of fewer than 240 credits but no fewer than 120 credits is either a Bachelor Honours Degree or a Postgraduate Diploma or an undergraduate degree followed by relevant professional experience.
2. Admission as an individual to a Master’s Degree is based on the evaluation of documentary evidence (including the academic record) of the individual applicant’s ability to undertake postgraduate study in a specialist field of enquiry or professional practice.
An individual for the Postgraduate Diploma in a specified subject or, where appropriate, a related area will normally have completed all requirements of the relevant Bachelor's Degree or Graduate Certificate or Graduate Diploma, or who is deemed to have acquired the relevant skills and knowledge through appropriate work or professional experience, at an additional level.
