The Awarding Bodies - Dundalk Institute of Technology - Awarding Body

Awarding Bodies are organisations that are authorised to make awards, certification, or award qualifications.

Listing Awarding Bodies

Courses.ie lists all of the awarding bodies in Ireland, the UK and abroad. Most major awards are made by bodies with statutory powers, but there are also many professional organisations that make their own awards. While courses and educational programmes in Ireland lead to qualifications from Irish awarding bodies, it sometimes be the case that courses lead to non-Irish awards, for example awards from international bodies, or national awards from other countries.

Certain Irish institutions are both providers of courses / programmes and awarding bodies in their own right: these are the Irish universities and the Dublin Institute of Technology (DIT).

In Ireland, following the changes in the qualifications system as a result recent legislation, the number of statutory bodies has been reduced as the new awards councils FETAC and HETAC have assumed the the awarding functions previously fulfilled by several other Irish organisations such as the National Council for Educational Awards (NCEA), National Council for Vocational Awards (NCVA), Solas, Teagasc, the National Tourism Certification Board (CERT) and Bord Iascaigh Mhara.

Dundalk Institute of Technology (DkIT) is one of the leading providers of higher education in the North East of Ireland.

History of DkIT

The Institute was one of the original network of Regional Technical Colleges. These were set up in the 1970s and had an emphasis on business, engineering and science. However, DkIT has since expanded its range of programmes. These now include hospitality, humanities, music, creative arts and nursing. In addition, apprenticeship courses have long been a feature of the Institute. Therefore, there has been continual expansion in the apprenticeship provisioning.

The Academic Council assists the Governing Body in the planning, co-ordination, development and overseeing of the educational work of the Institute. This protects, maintains and develops the academic standards of the courses and activities of DkIT.
