QQI Award Brand
Since February 2015, we have been issuing certificates to learners with the new QQI award brand logo. The award brand logo and new parchments have been designed in keeping with the existing QQI corporate identity.
QQI can assure all holders of FETAC and HETAC awards that their awards will continue to be recognised at the appropriate levels of the National Framework of Qualifications.
Promoting QQI Awards
The QQI Award brand logo is strictly controlled and is only made available to providers for use in the promotion of their programmes leading to QQI awards.
Providers must use appropriate wording when displaying the brand on their website and in their literature and marketing materials. For stakeholders who do not deliver programmes leading to QQI awards but refer to QQI awards in the course of their business, the same requirement applies.
Providers should use the QQI Business System (QBS)
here and enter their login details to access the area for usage guidelines and downloading of the QQI Award brand logo.
Providers must use appropriate wording when displaying the brand on their website and in their literature and marketing materials. For stakeholders who do not deliver programmes leading to QQI awards but refer to QQI awards in their course of business, the same requirement applies.
