Regulated qualification

Last updated:

A regulated qualification operates on the basis of legal provisions other than those governing the education system (under the terminology used in the IQS Act, school certificates and higher education diplomas are not regulated qualifications).

From the perspective of the economy and the labour market, regulated qualifications are an essential complement to full qualifications obtained within the school education and higher education systems.

The decision to include a regulated qualification in the IQS is made by the relevant minister. A regulated qualification does not have to be included in the IQS.
