National Framework of Qualifications

The National Framework of Qualifications (NFQ) is a structured system that organizes and describes the various levels of education and training qualifications in a country. It helps people understand and compare different qualifications, from basic skills to advanced degrees. By establishing clear criteria for what each level represents, the NFQ aims to enhance educational standards, facilitate lifelong learning, and improve workforce skills. It also aids employers and educational institutions in recognizing and valuing qualifications, making it easier for individuals to pursue further education or employment opportunities based on their achievements.
