Publications & Resources
Since its establishment in 2001, the National Qualifications Authority of Ireland has, following extensive consultation with stakeholders, produced several documents which set out its overall determinations, policies and procedures and operational guidelines. Please see www.nqai.ie for further details.
In addition, the Qualifications Authority has produced material to support the communication by others of the NFQ, for instance Guidance Counsellors and careers advisors. This material is available under the Presentations and Communication Materials section of the site.
Below are links to some key documents which provide further information about the NFQ.
