Returning to education as an adult can be challenging, especially if early experiences of education were difficult. The LWETB Further Education and Training Guidance Service provides information, advice, and guidance on training, education, and careers for adults who want to return to education. We offer help before, during, or after your course. If you want to make an appointment with the Guidance Service, click here to access our online booking form.
The National Framework of Qualifications (NFQ) has been designed to allow learners to compare and classify qualifications across ten levels ranging from the initial stages of learning to the most advanced stages.
The NFQ can help you make informed decisions about which level, of course, is appropriate for you and to make it easier for you to explain the qualifications you hold and those for which you are studying. This becomes particularly important when you are considering further learning or entering employment both here in Ireland and abroad.
