FETAC

• Makes and promotes awards on the National Framework of Qualifications
• Determines standards and award requirements

Progression

FETAC qualifications allow participants to move on to further Education Colleges such as PLC's and Institute of Technologies, as their awards will be recognised by these colleges. Presently in Ireland there are some 40 Further Education Colleges that offer places on a variety of courses. All FETAC awards are part of the National Framework of Qualifications (NFQ). This ensures that your Award is recognised nationally and internationally and that the Award can create further learning opportunities for you.
