Progression to Higher Education
Progression is the process whereby learners may transfer from one programme of
education and training to another, where each programme is of a higher level than
the preceding one, as illustrated in the National Framework of Qualifications (NFQ)
diagram below.
Higher Education Links Scheme
This scheme facilitates the transfer of students who have achieved a QQI Level 5
award, and/or Level 6 advanced award, to third-level colleges throughout the country.
Learners who complete a major QQI award at Levels 5 and 6 are eligible to apply
through the CAO system for entry into participating courses in the QQI Higher
Education Links Scheme (HELS). A limited number of places are available, and
applicants are ranked according to results achieved in their QQI major award.
It is important to consult the appropriate Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) for
essential information about content of courses, entry requirements, duration, career
progression, etc.

Important Points to Note
»» Applicants must have obtained a full QQI major award. A component certificate will
not suffice.

»» A full award may be accumulated over more than one year. However, some institutes
and universities may require that awards be obtained over one year.
»» Certain progression courses may have additional specific requirements.
»» Applicants are advised at all times to confirm linked awards, any additional
module requirements, and application processes with the Admissions Offices of the

to all levels of the National Framework of Qualifications.
Every attempt has been made by Coláiste Íde to provide
current/anticipated award titles and course content on our
website and in this prospectus. It is possible, however, that
the published award titles and module titles may be altered as
this migration process evolves. Students need to familiarise
themselves with the appropriate award and module titles
prior to applying for courses at the college. If in any doubt,
applicants should consult the QQI.
