Non-certified awards do not fall on the National Framework of Qualifications. Course providers offering hobbyist or introductory courses may give non-certified awards. These awards may, on occasion, be taken into consideration as Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) when applying for further certified study. Some courses might be technical in nature or might have accreditation issued by an outside Awarding Body not recognised on the NFQ. Other courses might issue non-NFQ certificates for those who wish to broaden their knowledge or skills in a particular area, while some might be non-certified, but offer the option to take an exam or submit coursework for accreditation for an additional administration fee.
Courses That Award: Non-Certified
