1/The official qualification for New Zealand High School students.
2/Alarmingly sub-par. Used by New Zealand's social commentators in a striking display of wit.

1/Dude 1: Hey I just got 4 credits for writing a CV!
Dude 2: You're kidding me! I just worked my butt off to get four credits by communicating perceptive and comprehensive insight into an aspect of the classical world, in a manner which displays flair and/or original thought! No fair!!
2/Guy in newspaper: ...the whole thing is completely ncea...

Stands for "National Certificate of Eductaional Achievement". The New Zealand high school qualification standard. Replaced National Certificate in 2002 with much controversy because it is flawed in many ways.

Person1: "Yo, how many creds did u get in level 1?"
Person2: "81"
Person1: "Whata lazy cunt I got 284"
Person2: "So, you get nothing more than me we both passed."
