  2. FETAC?Further Education and Training Awards Council (FETAC) was the statutory awarding body for further education and training in Ireland. FETAC made awards at levels 1 to 6 on the National Framework of Qualifications (NFQ). These awards are now made by QQI. The FET sector in Ireland is wider than the FETAC awards and includes a myriad of other awarding bodies, some of which are aligned to the NFQ.

  3. QQI • Quality and Qualifications Ireland (QQI) was established in November 2012 by the amalgamation of the functions of the Further Education and Training Awards Council (FETAC), the Higher Education and Training Awards Council (HETAC), the Irish Universities Quality Board (IUQB) and the National Qualifications Authority of Ireland (NQAI). • QQI is the agency responsible for the National Framework of Qualifications (NFQ) and the quality assurance of further and higher education and training (including English language provision) in Ireland.
