This qualifications framework represents the efforts of the MQA in integrating education and training into a unified structure of recognised qualifications that encourage life-long learning.
Purpose
The purpose of the framework is to:
-
define various recognition needs at Sectoral and Level within the National Framework
-
provide a quality specification and a basis for the formal recognition of individual ability

This Framework is intended to ensure all the various training and development needs of the Sector are addressed at required levels. The Framework will guide the Sector on the requirements and opportunities available to learners / workers and for career planning purposes.
