New Zealand Class

Hi everyone,

Sorry to hijack a thread.

I’m from the UK but my dad is a kiwi so I am eligible for citizenship. I have a conditional job lined up but a requirement is a NZ class 2 driving licence. My question is what is this? I understand class 1 is a car in NZ?

Can anyone advise what the best way to go about this would be? Is there a UK equivalent I can get before I go over and then transfer it once I get there?

Or should I wait until I get to NZ and just start from scratch there?

I would prefer if possible the 1st option but not sure if its possible.

Thanks.
