Who we are

Quality and Qualifications Ireland is the state agency responsible for the external quality assurance of further and higher education and training in Ireland.

We validate programmes, make awards and are responsible for the promotion, maintenance, development and review of the National Framework of Qualifications (NFQ).

We also inform the public about the quality of education and training programmes and qualifications, and advise the Government on national policy regarding quality assurance and enhancement in education and training.

For regular updates from QQI, sign up here.
