The National framework of Qualifications is a single structure for recognising all education and training in Ireland. You will see that some awards now have an NFQ Level (1-10) which have nationally agreed standards of what an individual is expected to know, understand and be able to do following successful completion of a course at each particular level. The Quality Qualifications of Ireland (QQI) awards have replaced FETAC and HETAC awards. For example a FETAC level 5 award is now called a QQI Level 5 award.
