(103KB)
The National Qualifications Authority of Ireland has introduced a National Framework of Qualifications in October 2003. Based on submissions from a range of organisations at the initial stage of developing the National Framework of Qualifications, the Authority has engaged in consultation on the development of policies for the inclusion of professional and international awards in the Framework. As a result of this consultation and subsequent workshops the Authority has published a further consultation paper setting out draft policies and criteria for the inclusion of a range of awards in the Framework. A copy of the consultation paper is available to download and is also available from the Authority.
We are inviting submissions, preferably written, to be made by 19 January 2005 and you are asked to specifically address the questions that are summarised in Appendix 2 of the paper by the Authority. There is a provision below to download a response form to this paper. The Authority would also request that, if possible, submissions would be made electronically. The intention is that all of the submissions made to the Authority will be publicly available on the website. Following the receipt of submissions, the Authority is planning to host a workshop on the issues arising.
