NFQ Qualification

With their tight focus and duration, UCD Professional Academy diplomas are stand-alone qualifications and are not referenced to NFQ (National Framework of Qualifications) levels or UCD University academic courses. They are not generally accepted for transfer credit onto academic courses, but are widely recognised and valued by employers. This is not unusual for professional courses of this nature, where the need is for fresh and actionable skills immediately applicable in the workplace.

Your UCD Professional Academy diploma is a way to verify your credentials and achieve the career recognition you deserve. By studying with us you’ll not only gain access to career-boosting skills and knowledge in a timetable that works for you, but learn alongside likeminded professionals whose collaboration and shared experience support and cement your learning.
