The National Framework of Qualifications consists of ten different levels which are internationally recognised. Level 1 Certificate has a connection to education or training achievement. These certs will help students (including anyone with intellectual and other disabilities) as well as adults returning to training, and learners with not many previous qualifications. A Level 1 Certificate can provide certification for anyone who might like to progress to higher levels and or are an achievement in themselves. Each certificate is made up of a number of components, which could mean basic literacy and numeracy, where the learner can achieve at their own pace and accumulate the awards over time towards one of the named certificates above. Awards with the NFQ level one to three are the equivalent of the junior cycle in secondary school.
