These frameworks also show how learners can move from one qualification, or qualification level, to another within a system. over 150 countries are now developing, or have developed, a national qualifications framework.

The NFQ is a framework through which all learning achievements may be measured and related to each other in a coherent way. Qualifications are organised within the NFQ based on their level of knowledge, skill and competence. There are many different types and sizes of qualifications included in the NFQ and because all qualifications included in the NFQ are quality assured, you can have confidence that they will be recognised at home and abroad.
