Quality and Qualifications Ireland (QQI)

QQI is an independent state agency that ensures quality and accountability in education and training in Ireland. Most of our programs are certified by QQI. QQI awards are recognized nationally and internationally within the National Framework of Qualifications (NFQ), a 10-level system that describes qualifications in the Irish education and training system. It shows the main qualifications at each level and how you can move from one level to the next. The NFQ helps you compare qualifications so you can choose a program or course that will be recognized both in Ireland and abroad.
