Dorset College working in partnership with a number of validating bodies, offers a wide range of short skill-based, professional and degree programmes that meet the needs of learners at all stages of their lives and careers. Many of our programmes are on the (NFQ) National Framework of Qualifications.
The NFQ framework structure provides an understanding of Ireland’s system of qualifications and how qualifications can be compared. It enables learners to make an informed decision on their choices, progression and it also provides an indication of the qualification requirements associated with applying for a job in Ireland or Internationally. Qualifications in the NFQ are recognised nationally and internationally.
