QQI interactive dashboards

Explore our certification data

Welcome to QQI’s interactive dashboards, where you can easily explore dynamic visuals of our certification data.

Certification confirms that a learner has met the required knowledge, skills, and competence for a QQI award. These dashboards provide insights into certification trends since 2014, on the types of providers offering programmes leading to QQI awards, and on the individuals who have achieved QQI awards (referred as ‘learner’).

What’s New in 2025?

Updated Reporting: All Further Education and Training (FET) minor awards within the Common Awards System (CAS) are now included in our statistics, even if achieved alongside a major award (previously these were excluded from certification reports if they were achieved within the same certification period as a major award).
Data Updates: dashboards are refreshed twice a year (July and December), with minor revisions possible to ensure accuracy.

All figures are rounded to the nearest 5 to protect learner anonymity.
