May 2019

​QQI launches five-month consultation on new-format draft awards standards for Early Learning and Care (ELC) 
Quality and Qualifications Ireland has published proposed new awards standards for Early Learning and Care. The new standards (at NFQ Levels 5 and 6) will replace the current Early Childhood Care & Education standards published in 2011.  

One of the major changes is that the new standards will be based on the NFQ Professional Award-type Descriptors.  This will have a significant positive impact for a sector which saw nearly 25,000 major awards (including those at Levels 5 and 6) in the last 7 years.  For example, it will help facilitate the development of efficient progression pathways between different tertiary ELC qualifications in the NFQ.  

A consultation event on was held 7 May 2019 with full attendance. You can view the presentation from the Department of Education and Skills delivered on the day here. The programme from the day can be viewed here. 

Consultation closed on 30 September 2019.

Notice of intention to deactivate unused and little used CAS awards
QQI is responsible for ensuring that all awards standards for further education and training are fit for purpose and relevant. 
Starting in 2019 we will annually analyse the levels of certification for each Common Awards System (CAS) award to identify those that are long established and yet either unused or little used.  This is required to ensure the integrity of the CAS and the National Framework of Qualifications. The criteria for deactivation are as follows:
• All classes of CAS awards developed prior to 2014 that have never been certified.
• All classes of CAS awards developed prior to 2014 that have been certified fewer than 20 times in the years prior to 2018.

For further information on how this will be done and how providers and stakeholders can respond go to here
Providers and other stakeholders will have a two-month window to let us know if the withdrawal of any of the awards presents a problem that we need to consider.

November 2018

Review of English Language Teaching Standards

In recent months QQI has undertaken validation activity related to programmes leading to the new ‘CELT’ award. In that process issues were identified in relation to understanding and implementation of the ELT standards by providers.  QQI considers there are legitimate concerns and has taken the approach of reviewing the 2014 ELT standards. The changes (highlighted in yellow) are identified in the draft revised Awards Standards for Teaching English as a Second or Other Language at NFQ Levels 6-9.

The proposed revisions relate to:
• Clarifying the situation at level 7 where the qualifier ‘comprehensive’ in the 2014 standards were taken as relating to the CELT programme specifically rather than to the level as a whole.
• A different award title to ‘CELT’ is now proposed to distinguish the pre service award from others. The new title proposed is ‘Certificate in Teaching English as a Second or Other Language’ (TESOL).
• The credit value for the TESOL award has been amended to ‘a minimum of 10 ECTS’ to reflect the broad principles of ECTS (as referenced in the Principles and Operational Guidelines for the Implementation of a National Approach to Credit in Irish Higher Education and Training.

• The implementation of QQI’s new core policy and procedures for the validation of programmes means that much of the text related to programme content has now been removed as these sources are available elsewhere - Policies and Criteria for the Validation by QQI of Programmes of Education and Training (2016).

Consultation closed on 21 November 2018.

Topic-Specific Quality Assurance Guidelines​

Feedback received during the first consultation was extremely comprehensive and many issues raised by stakeholders referred to learning experiences but exclusively in the context of online. This resulted in the decision to re-orientate and retitle the guidelines and publish a White Paper on Topic-Specific Quality Assurance Guidelines for Blended Learning.

Consultation closed on Friday 3 November 2017.  We would like to thank all those who provided feedback during the consultation phases. The original feedback responses, where the authors have given permission for QQI to publish are available here.  QQI’s response to these submissions has been published in the Feedback Report.  

A green paper will be developed to encourage discussion on the impact of online learning technology/digital capacity on teaching and learning within the existing education and training context.
