    Hi people.

    Sorry I don't know what other forum to put this in. I received a national certificate in computing in 2000.

    I heard that the national certificate is now awarded as a national diploma or something along those lines?. Does anyone know anything about this or who to contact for information?.

    Cheers.

    The QQI who have replaced HETAC and FETAC would be the successor agency of whoever authorised it at the time.

    If its a Higher Certificate its equivalent to a Level 6 (which was called a Diploma for a while by HETAC but doesn't seem to be anymore by QQI) and you may be able to upgrade it to a Level 7 or 8 degree with less years / modules / credits than otherwise required, however as its 14 years old a lot of doors will be closed on that path.

    Get onto the QQI as above, but essentially the National Certificate is now the level 6 Higher Certificate.
