FAQ’ s

How is my course certified?

The Further Education and Training Awards Council (FETAC) has been set up by the Department of Education and Science to nationally certify courses. Our centre runs FETAC courses  This guarantees that  these  programmes are planned and delivered to the highest standards. FETAC certification is recognised nationally and internationally by employers and educational institutions.

The Further Education, Training and Awards Council’s mission is to make quality assured awards in accordance with national standards within the national framework, creating opportunities for all learners in further education and training to have their achievements recognized, and providing access to systematic progression pathways.

FETAC awards are placed within the National Framework of Qualifications. This framework includes further and higher education and training awards. This will greatly extend opportunities for access, transfer and progression for all learners. There are 10 levels on the national framework, 1 being the lowest and 10 being the highest. FETAC offers programmes at levels 1 through to 6.

FETAC offers Major and Minor awards. Major awards are made up of a number of specified (8 or more) minor awards commonly known as component certificates or modules.

Each module can be taken separately or as part of an overall programme incorporating all the required modules for a major award. Learners receive a component certificate for each module they successfully complete. When a learner has successfully completed the required component certificates for a major award they automatically become eligible for the overall certificate

Can I use my FETAC Award to continue to Higher Education courses?

Yes. FETAC courses have been placed within the new National Framework of Qualifications.  The ten-level framework diagram illustrates the placement of awards within the framework of qualifications. There are approximately 40 Higher Education Institutions including Universities, Institutes of Technology and private colleges offering places on a variety of courses to FETAC certificate holders. For further information visit Further Education and Training Awards Council (FETAC), Higher Education Links Scheme (HELS), the National Framework of Qualifications (NFQ), the National Qualifications Authority of Ireland.
