New QQI Award Brand replaces FETAC

QQI Logo Update:

FETAC / QQI have announced that from September 2014 the transitional logos of FETAC – awarded by QQI and HETAC – awarded by QQI have been withdrawn.  They are now replaced with the new QQI Award identity and its logo as below.

All FETAC & HETAC providers that reference FETAC and HETAC awards should now remove the old logos and replace them with the new QQI Award logo on providers promotional materials, websites and electronic and print media.

The new award identity will also appear on certificates but this will not happen until the first certification period of 2015. The wording on certificates will be identified as “QQI Award –Further Education and Training Award” (for further education and training qualifications at Levels 1-6 of the National Framework of Qualifications) or “QQI Award – Higher Education and Training Award” (for higher education and training qualifications at Levels 6-10 on the National Framework of Qualifications).

Current holders of all FETAC and HETAC awards should be assured that their awards will continue to be recognised at the appropriate levels of the National Framework of Qualifications.
