    This page http://www.nfq-qqi.com/index.html would indicate they are equal.

    Private colleges will chance their arm and charge what they think they can get. ETBs tend to be fairer. Double check any course is the full award.

    the QQI is in a training centre and the NFQ is in a collage.

    As far as I know, NFQ is an outdated term now. They are all QQI.

    I would ask the expensive one how they justify the difference and see what they say. It's possible the cheaper one is not a complete award.
