ICS Skills announces FETAC registration

ICS Skills is now registered to offer programmes leading to FETAC awards in the National Framework of Qualifications.

Many ICS Skills programmes on offer will now lead to FETAC awards from level 3 to level 6.

The initial programme on offer is the Certified Training Professional, as a FETAC Level 6 Train the Trainer award. However the number and range of programmes available will be extended in the future.

All ICS Skills FETAC programmes will be designed to meet the standards set out by FETAC and the group pledges to contribute to the development of new modules and certificates within the FETAC system.

This agreement is of enormous benefit for those undertaking the Certified Training Professional programme with ICS Skills, as it now provides them with a progression path to the range of qualifications in the National Framework of Qualifications, including those at certificate, advanced certificate and degree levels. 

Integration of this programme and others into the Irish NFQ (National Framework of Qualifications) is seen by ICS Skills as essential, helping those undertaking some programmes to plan for their lifelong education, up-skilling and career progression.
