Learners on QQI programmes may be exempt from completing a component because of prior certification achieved. This only applies when you are due to achieve a major or special purpose awards.
Components achieved through exemption will be graded as ‘Exempt’ on a QQI transcript and will be neutral in the calculation of the grade of the compound award. This means that they won’t be considered in determining whether a learner achieves a pass, merit or distinction in the overall award.

QQI recognised awards previously awarded by FETAC. Some of these awards are mapped to CAS (Common Award System) components and can be used to claim exemptions. QQI has published lists of these mappings.

Where a FETAC component is not mapped to a CAS component, then direct exemption using that FETAC component is not possible.
A learner cannot apply directly to QQI for an exemption. Prior to course commencement, learners can contact the Quality Officer directly, or if your course has already started, you can consult with your Tutor. The Quality Officer or Tutor can check if you are entitled to an exemption. You will need to provide a copy of your certificate to prove that you have achieved the award.
Scoil Mhuire Community School Clane will process the exemption when submitting the final results to QQI.
