Comparability Statement:
Comparability Statements for a number of qualifications from various countries are available to download from the Naric section of our QSearch database.
These statements offer advice on the recognition of a foreign qualification in Ireland by comparing it to a level and major award-type, where possible on the NFQ (National Framework of Qualifications).
If your qualification is included on QSearch, you can download the comparability statement yourself.
If your qualification is not included in the Naric section of QSearch, you can apply for advice on the general academic recognition of your qualification using this form. Please view this leaflet for more details.
