Listing Awarding Bodies
Corporatetraining.ie lists all of the awarding bodies in Ireland, the UK and abroad. Most major awards are made by bodies with statutory powers, but there are also many professional organisations that make their own awards. While training courses in Ireland lead to qualifications from Irish awarding bodies, it sometimes be the case that training courses lead to non-Irish awards, for example awards from international bodies, or national awards from other countries.
Certain Irish institutions are both providers of training courses and awarding bodies in their own right: these are the Irish universities and the Dublin Institute of Technology (DIT).
In Ireland, following the changes in the qualifications system as a result recent legislation, the number of statutory bodies has been reduced as the new awards councils FETAC and HETAC have assumed the the awarding functions previously fulfilled by several other Irish organisations such as the National Council for Educational Awards (NCEA), National Council for Vocational Awards (NCVA), Solas, Teagasc, the National Tourism Certification Board (CERT) and Bord Iascaigh Mhara.

The work experience requirement is interdependent with the qualification. So, the higher the level of qualification the less work experience required. For example, applicants with a degree or near degree qualification need 4 years work experience of which at least 3 years are in a context where quality issues form a major part of their job. More experience is required with other qualifications.
