Welcome to Qualifications in Wales (QiW)
The QiW database is owned and managed by Qualifications Wales, the regulator of non-degree qualifications and the qualifications system in Wales. QiW contains details of all qualifications that are regulated by Qualifications Wales.
This includes qualifications which are approved or designated for teaching in Wales for learners aged under 19, excluding higher education.
Qualifications that are approved or designated by Qualifications Wales will be eligible for funding by a Local Authority or by Welsh Government. This funding is for the education provider, not the learner.
All qualifications in QiW will be allocated a unique identification code known as a Qualifications Wales Approval/Designation Number. Centres should use this number when making curriculum choices.
National Qualifications
National qualifications are the new qualifications for 14 – 16 year olds in Wales. They will all be in place by September 2027 and will include qualifications from entry level to level 2, across a range of subjects.
