Decision by HETAC Not to Agree Quality Assurance Procedures – Appeals Procedures
Under section 28 of the Qualifications (Education and Training) Act 1999, a provider establishes quality assurance procedures and agrees them with the Higher Education and Training Awards Council (‘the Council’).
These procedures have been established by the National Qualifications Authority of Ireland (‘the Authority’) at the request of, and with the agreement of, the Council and apply where the Council decides not to agree to the quality assurance procedures proposed by a provider.
