Legacy Quality Assurance Policies and Procedures

Following the amalgamation of Donegal VEC and the former SOLAS training centres in Letterkenny and Gweedore, Donegal ETB is currently operating under two legacy quality assurance agreements with QQI, the independent State agency responsible for promoting quality and accountability in education and training services in Ireland (for further information, see www.qqi.ie).

The resource documents associated with the legacy QA Agreements are listed below for information purposes:

• Donegal ETB QQI QA Operational Policies & Procedures for Programme Co-Ordinators

• Donegal ETB FET Service TQAS Over-Arching Quality Assurance Manual V4.3

QQI published QQI’s Core Statutory QA Guidelines in April 2016, followed by the Sector Specific Guidelines for ETBs in May 2017. Donegal ETB is now working on developing an integrated quality assurance system for the organisation.

For QA policies and procedures specific to each Donegal ETB Further Education and Training centre under the legacy agreements, please contact the centre in question directly. Contact details are available here.

All other Donegal Education and Training Board Polices are available here. 

Revised Quality Assurance Policies and Procedures

The development of a comprehensive suite of common quality assurance policies and procedures for Donegal ETB will be a long-term project; as new common policies and procedures are developed and approved by the appropriate governance structure, they will be published on this page and will supersede the existing individual policies and procedures which are currently available.
