The Qualifications and Quality Assurance (Education and Training) Bill was published in July 2011.
The Bill provides for the amalgamation of the National Qualifications Authority of Ireland (NQAI), the Higher Education and Awards Council (HETAC) and the Further Education and Awards Council (FETAC).
In order to prepare for the dissolution of FETAC, the transition of functions to the new agency and the reassignment of resources across the new organisation, FETAC wishes to advise the following service changes:
New award development activity is suspended.
No new applications for provider registration will be accepted and the FBS for provider registration is closed.
The time table for the 5 year review of providers will be extended.
