About

Our education system is central to our nation’s future. It is essential to the creation of a prosperous Wales with more equality of opportunity, a vibrant culture and a thriving Welsh language.

​Qualifications - and people’s confidence in them - are fundamental to that prosperity.​

Qualifications Wales is the independent regulator for non-degree level qualifications in Wales offered by recognised awarding bodies. We want everyone in Wales to be confident that the qualifications achieved by our learners are fair, trusted and valued throughout the UK and internationally. ​

Just as important to maintaining that confidence is shaping how qualifications will meet the future needs of learners - and that’s part of our role too.

Our strategic priorities are intended to create a stronger, more robust and more resilient qualifications system that meets the needs of future generations.
