In November 2012 a new integrated agency, Quality and Qualifications Ireland (QQI) replaced the National Qualifications Authority of Ireland (NQAI), the Further Education and Training Awards Council (FETAC) and the Higher Education and Training Awards Council (HETAC). It will also take over the functions of the Irish Universities Quality Board (IUQB).

Quality and Qualifications Ireland will continue to make awards based on standards developed by the Further Education and Training Awards Council.

QQI is the primary awarding body in Enniscorthy Vocational College of Further Education.

Other awarding bodies include:

CIDESCO (Comite International D’esthetique et de cosmetology)

ITEC (International Therapy Examination Council)

CIBTAC (Confederation of International Beauty Therapy and Cosmetology)

City and Guilds

IAOT (International Academy of Travel)
