National Framework of Qualifications (NFQ)
The National Framework of Qualifications (NFQ) is a ten level framework that enables you to quickly see how one award compares with others. All FETAC awards are part of the National Framework of Qualifications and are placed at levels 1 - 6.
The Framework helps you to:
- make informed decisions about your qualification choices and to consider progression opportunities available to you.
- explain to others what qualifications you hold, or are studying for.
- relate awards gained abroad or in Ireland. For information visit Qualifications Recognition Ireland and Europass websites. This becomes very important when you are considering further learning or when you are applying for a job at home or abroad.
