    I got a national diploma (from Athlone) a few years ago, but have learned that qualification titles have changed.
    Could I say I've got an Ordinary Degree instead.

    You should contact the college you got your qualification from, and ask them.

    Generally they are equivalent but it might be worth checking with AIT.

    This is taken from the National Framework of Qualifications website. http://www.nfq.ie/nfq/en/faq.html

    9. I obtained a National Diploma - can it now be called an Ordinary Bachelor Degree?
    The National Diploma is a legacy award, no longer made since the introduction of the Irish National Framework of Qualifications (NFQ) in 2003 but is placed at Level 7 on the NFQ. The current award at NFQ Level 7 is the Ordinary Bachelor Degree. Therefore, both the National Diploma and the Ordinary Bachelor Degree are recognised through the NFQ at Level 7 but holders of the National Diploma may not call their award an Ordinary Bachelor Degree.
