QQI Qualification Details

Throughout 2011 and 2012 the Further Education and Training Awards Council (QQI) published new level 5 Common Awards. The existing level 5 QQI (NCVA) Awards were deactivated in December 2012 and December 2013. It was a requirement of QQI that programmes leading to the new Common Awards must be developed by or on behalf of a QQI registered provider and validated by QQI prior to the programmes being offered to a learner. In response to this, City of Dublin Education and Training Board developed a programme called Outdoor Sport and Recreation 5M5148 leading to the Level 5 QQI Certificate in Outdoor Sport and Recreation 5M5148.

The information relating to this programme is contained in this document. The role of this learner handbook is to provide the student with all the information pertaining to the programme, including; programme profile, programme objectives, entry criteria, opportunities for
transfer and progression, programme duration, delivery modes and methodologies, learner supports, programme review schedule, programme structure and assessment information.
