Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 15 April 2014
264. Deputy Brendan Ryan asked the Minister for Education and Skills if his attention has been drawn to delays in FETAC issuing final certificates to persons who completed courses in health care; if he will provide an explanation for this delay; and if his Department will expedite the issuing of outstanding final certificates. [17928/14]
View answerQuality and Qualifications Ireland (QQI), formerly FETAC, provides 6 opportunities per year to education and training providers to apply for certification for their learners. The dates of those opportunities are published well in advance and providers are made aware of them. Once requested, certificates are issued within 2 weeks of the closing of each certification opportunity and to each provider that has submitted quality assured, correctly inputted results for each learner.
Without further information regarding the programme of education and training concerned I am unable to go into further detail regarding the particular situation the Deputy refers to.
